Is there any index reflecting flight ticket price trends?

Upvote:3

As Greg Hewgill commented, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes airline fare statistics, which they use in the Consumer Price Index (CPI):

Web-based pricing enables the CPI to track a more defined trip month-to-month, where prices are collected by assigning each quote fixed specifications for advance reservation and day of the week.

Greg Hewgill also pointed to a webpage by the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics that also contains statistics on airfares.
