According to Liligo data, travelers book earlier to guarantee high prices and likewise, the time between research and purchase of the ticket is shortened by half (currently around twenty days). Which does not prevent the French from still wanting to travel as much, in the post-Covid period. “It’s very paradoxical”underlines Guillaume Rostand, spokesperson for Liligo in Le Parisien, “but travelers today know that they have to plan in advance. There is therefore very strong demand three months before, which mechanically raises prices at the moment. Before a very relative decrease, the coming weeks. »
