Summary
The European jet fuel shortage has raised concerns over potential flight cancellations, but EU leaders say there’s no immediate cause for alarm. Travelers should still be prepared for possible disruptions, especially on short-haul flights between smaller European cities. Airlines have already begun cutting flights due to high fuel prices, and the EU is working on securing an alternative jet fuel supply.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Travelers are advised to build buffer time into their itineraries and keep an eye out for backup flight options. They can also opt to take the train instead. Flexible hotel stays and booking reservations with points can provide more flexibility in case of changes. The EU is working on securing an alternative jet fuel supply, and airlines may use tankering fuel to relieve supply constraints.
And, of course, the train is always a reliable option – as long as you don’t mind the lack of in-flight Wi-Fi.
