Why One-way Plane Tickets Are Getting Cheaper<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Why One-way Plane Tickets Are Getting Cheaper:-One-way plane tickets are growing in popularity, according to a study from the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC).<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past three years, there has been a dramatic increase in customers purchasing one-way tickets while those buying round-trip tickets have seen a correlated decline.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2014, only about 29 percent of air travel bought from travel agencies was one-way. Today that number is about 42 percent. (Round-trip ticketing decreased from 71 percent to 58 percent.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn summary, the long-held belief that it is better to purchase round-trip tickets whenever possible to get the best fares, is simply no longer true,\u201d the study said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ARC believes that the one-way ticket growth was spurred by \u201cleisure and unmanaged travelers.\u201d These travelers are buying one-way tickets now because, simply put, it\u2019s cheaper than it was before. While the study says that some regions retain higher one-way ticket premiums, about one-third of American airline markets have seen a 25 percent decrease in the cost of one-way travel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it may defy conventional wisdom, airlines typically have charged more for one-way flights than round-trip in the past. This dates back to the deregulation era when airlines were competing for passengers. It was thought that if one-way tickets were fairly cheap, the passenger could choose another airline for their return trip. Keeping round-trip flights cheaper ensured that the passenger would ride the same airline for both legs of their trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, since low-cost carriers have entered the game, the rules of ticketing have changed. Earlier this year, for example, Norwegian Air started offering $65 transatlantic flights to Europe. Although this airfare comes with a bevy of rules (and often fees), traditional airlines must change the way they compete. JetBlue\u2019s sales often feature low-cost one-way airfare and United has started offering one-way sales, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

For travelers, this means that the best deal on airfare may require a bit of research. The ARC did not reveal exactly in which markets one-way airfare has decreased (due to airline confidentiality), but it did reveal that travelers going to and from some of the country\u2019s largest airports \u2014 New York\u2019s Newark and LaGuardia airport, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles International, among others \u2014 may be able to find cheaper one-way tickets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before booking their round-trip tickets, travelers should do another quick search for one-way options just to ensure they\u2019re getting the best deal.<\/span><\/p>\n
