The subscription economy is taking off – literally

Beyond food, personal care, and automotive, travel is emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments in the subscription space.
​
Wizz Air’s “All You Can Fly” pass for €499 is just the latest story, but the real value of travel subscriptions goes far beyond the deals.
​
Here’s why the travel industry is embracing ‘subscription’:

​
And it’s not just airlines like Alaska Airlines and Wizz Air testing subscription models. Companies like Inspirato, Surf Air, and Tripadvisor are reshaping how we book hotels and flights with exclusive perks for subscribers.
​
The future of air travel is evolving—and with paid memberships offering value, predictability, and ease, the only question is:
​
How fast will travel subscriptions dominate?
