Domestic flights in Spain recorded in October a sharp increase in prices of 11.6% compared with the same month of 2025, while over the course of the year the average cost of these tickets has already accumulated an increase of 8.4%. This rebound is set within an international scenario shaped by the conflict in the Middle East and by the rise in the price of fuel, according to data from the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) collected by Europa Press.
In the case of air routes outside Spain, the price rose by 3% in year-on-year terms, while the accumulated variation in the first ten months of the year stood at 2.4%.
Within the tourism sector, the most intense increase since the start of the year continues to be concentrated in hotels, which record a price hike of 25.7%. Next come campsites and hostels, with an increase of 4.4%. By contrast, passenger transport by sea and tourist packages lowered their fares by 3.3% and 2.6%, respectively, through October.
In the specific analysis for October, hotels once again led the price increases by rising 11%. Tourist packages also became more expensive, in this case by 8.2%, while campsites and hostels repeated an increase of 4.4%. Passenger transport by sea remained practically unchanged.
When compared with September, the sharp rebound of 16.6% in international flights stood out, accompanied by a rise of 9.4% in passenger sea transport. The rest of tourism and transport services recorded stable prices or slight decreases in that monthly interval.
At the same time, the general CPI kept in October a year-on-year rate of 4.9%, levels that had not been seen since February 2023, thereby chaining three consecutive months with increases of more than 4%.
