“What that means is that people can take that dream vacation at a more affordable rate,” Jenkins said. “If they would normally really dream of sitting first class on a flight overseas this could be that opportunity for them to do that.”
It’s Going to Be a Busy Summer According to AAA
According to the AAA, it’s going to be a busy summer for traveling! According to a recent piece with WMFE, Mark Jenkins of AAA went on the record as saying that after a robust Memorial Day Weekend, there is continued optimism in the industry about travel over the next few months showing a dramatic increase.
As we previously reported here at MickeyBlog, flights went back to near pre-pandemic numbers over Memorial Day Weekend According to Jenkins, with the pandemic on the decline guests are feeling incentivized to travel due to cheap airfare currently on offer.
This will have the knock-on effect of airlines potentially releasing more flights as bookings increase. This also spells good news for travelers as according to Jenkins this has the potential to drive down the price of flights even more.
Tourists are also ready to begin cruising once again said Jenkins. There has been much speculation as to when cruises might resume sailing. Currently, Disney sailing have been cancelled through August but insiders are hoping on a Fall 2020 return. Jenkins advised that demand is there for cruising siting specifically Port Canaveral which is positive news when the popular Disney Cruise Line terminal does eventually open up!
We’ll be following the cruising component of this closely! We promise to let you know as soon as Disney announces an official return for their first post-pandemic sailing.
As we previously reported here at MickeyBlog Disney Cruise Line has said that they will begin to test cruises starting with the Disney Dream beginning on June 29.
