If you’re expecting everything to go back to how it was pre-pandemic, that may be awhile and it maybe never.

But things will stabilize. Passengers have to pay higher fares right now and deal with terrible travel experiences. That will decrease peoples willingness to travel. There’s also at least some pressure from people who delayed travel during the pandemic which will start easing (think people that visit distant family every 2-5 years now travelling this year).

At the same time higher fares and more certainty in the demand will let airlines, airports, logistic companies, Governments, etc. hire more and continue training the new people they’ve recently hired.

Predicting the future has been hard. People think this Summer should have been obvious, but at the same time many of us thought Christmas was going to be huge for travelling and then Omicron hit. And all of these things that affect supply/demand take time to stabilize.

I think we’re pretty close to a more stable travel experience and it’ll keep getting better for the next few years. I think we’re a ways away from pre-Covid pricing (when adjusting for inflation).
