"Skyscanner data reflects this shift, with a 66% increase in use of its layover filter as travelers take a more hands-on approach to navigating disrupted airspace. Comparing dates, providers, departure airports and destinations will always enable you to find the best deal. For travelers looking to plan ahead, the key is to remain flexible, stay informed and follow travel advisories."
Travelers remain confident and continue booking trips, but they ask more questions before committing. The research phase lasts longer and conversations with specialists are more detailed. Despite extended planning, average spend per trip is higher, and commitments are more complete once made. Cancellations are rare, including no cancellations to Europe reported, alongside rising popularity. Travelers build buffers and prioritize flexibility, protection, and adaptability. Planning tools reflect this shift, with increased use of layover filters and emphasis on comparing dates, providers, departure airports, and destinations. Accommodation demand is changing, with higher villa bookings and increased demand for serviced villas across multiple European countries.
