Travel is still possible if you plan early and use points, but spontaneous trips are harder. Dynamic pricing makes it feel like you are playing a game where the rules change every hour. I miss when the price felt more straightforward.
Are airline fees and dynamic pricing making travel feel impossible?

Flights seem unpredictable now, and by the time you add bags, seats and changes, the price is way higher. Are people still travelling or cutting back?

Answers & Discussion
We started driving more for regional trips. Flying a family of four after bags and seats can be ridiculous. A road trip takes longer, but at least the price is predictable. Airlines have made short trips feel like a luxury again.
We still travel, but we changed how. Carry-on only whenever possible, flexible dates, and no paid seat selection unless it is a long flight with kids. The base fare is almost meaningless now because the real price appears later. I hate it, but I have learned to calculate the full trip before getting excited.
