The huge hit in air travel demand caused last year by Covid-19 also made it cheaper for those who did fly. According to new data from Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, inflation-adjusted average fares from Wichita in the third quarter were down 36% year over year to $253.86. That was slightly higher than the nationwide average of $244.36 for a ticket during the same period, which, according to data from U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, was the lowest quarterly average (also adjusted for inflation) since at least 1995.
