Spring Break is a time when many families are taking big trips they may not have gotten to do these past two years during the pandemic.

As gas reaches almost $4 in Kansas, that might deter some people from going on a road trip. Plus, with how expensive airline tickets and hotels are, flying might not be an option for some either.

"Rather than going down driving to the beach or something like that where it's a 10 hour drive 12 hour drive they might decide to go out to the lake," said Matt Bert, AAA travel adviser.

But, not everyone is canceling their trips.

"Why cancel a trip, if you've had to cancel trips on for the past two years? You're like you know I really want to go on this one," Bert said.

Travel agents like Jay Dill with Travel Junkie say they are seeing more demand this year than in 2019 because he knows how eager people are to travel. Dill said people are cutting costs to make sure they can take this trip.

"Skipping eating out packing lunches, you know, looking for more affordable options to stay along the way and things like that and they're trying to offset those costs in other places," Dill said.

Valerie Wise, the Service and Marketing Manager for the Wichita Airport Authority, said they expect travel to be up for March 2022.

Back in March 2019 before the pandemic, 71,704 passengers went through the airport. That number dropped to 37,033 in March 2020 and went up to 41,634 in March 2021. 

Wise expects that number to jump this month since she said travel was up 75 percent from Jan. 2021 to 2022.
