Flying home for the holidays will cost more this year — a lot more. Hopper's 2026 Holiday Travel Index, reported by Fox Weather, puts average round-trip domestic airfare at $402 for Thanksgiving (+31% vs last year) and $452 for Christmas (+23%) — the highest holiday fares in a decade. Peak Christmas departures on December 18–20 average just under $500.
The one cost you can still delete
You cannot negotiate the fare. But the checked-bag fee stacked on top of it? That one is optional. The High Quality Vacuum Compression Backpack opens flat a full 180°, like a suitcase, swallows a week of bulky winter clothes, and its vacuum compression lining presses everything down to carry-on size — seal it, press the valve, done. No checked bag, no fee, no carousel.
It is $132.75 (was $189.99) — less than the fees on a couple of holiday round trips, and it pays for itself every trip after.
