Greg \u2060Abbott is planning his summer holiday with half an eye on the \u2060Iran war. He intends to stay closer to home in Europe and is lining up a plan B, wary of rising air fares and cancellations.<\/p>\n

The 54-year-old Britain-based Australian is planning a cycling trip with friends in Austria, a festival in Barcelona, Spain, and possibly a yoga retreat in France. But he does not want to go too far and is keeping travel options open.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll almost certainly be doing short-haul Europe, and almost certainly be doing trains, because they run on electricity,\u201d says Abbott, head of \u200coperations for a broadcasting company, adding that cost was a key factor against longer trips. \u201cThe prices are just crazy at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most are adapting rather than cancelling, she says, staying nearer home, driving and choosing formats that keep costs down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
