AI insight
AI-generatedThe article reports a divergence: flight prices are rising (supply-side cost pressure from fuel/uncertainty), while package holidays are cheaper (demand-side pricing or inventory clearing). The commercial mechanism is a substitution effect: consumers may shift from DIY flights to packages, squeezing airline margins on standalone tickets but boosting package tour operators. The impact is UK/Europe-specific, with Turkey, Egypt, Spain as key destinations.
