Cheaper air and a new activities channel give advisors fresh levers for holiday honeymoons

KAYAK reports Caribbean, Fiji and long-haul fares running below last year, with split one-ways cutting costs further. Separately, Expedia TAAP is testing Tiqets tours and activities in a U.K. agency beta, a possible new ancillary channel for honeymoon and wedding-party excursions.

KAYAK: Caribbean, Fiji and long-haul fares are below last year

KAYAK's 2026 holiday travel data says average fares to Fiji are down 13%, and fares to Caribbean, Latin America and Asia destinations are below last year's levels. Booking two one-way tickets instead of a round trip can cut costs by up to 30% into Simpson Bay (St. Maarten) and up to 23% into Liberia, Costa Rica.

What it means commercially: Advisors have a price-led reason to approach holiday-season honeymoon clients now. The same split-ticket approach could lower air costs for destination wedding guests, who often pay for flights separately. KAYAK says fares typically bottom out about 4 to 7 weeks before Christmas departures, so the window is open. These are KAYAK's own figures, not a guarantee. Check live fares before quoting clients, and weigh the risk of separate tickets, since a missed connection on one leg won't be protected by the other.

Expedia TAAP adds Tiqets activities in a U.K. agency beta

Expedia is adding bookable tours and attractions from Tiqets to its TAAP agent platform, starting with a beta among U.K. agencies. If it expands to U.S. advisors, it would give them another channel for selling honeymoon excursions and wedding-party activities in one place.

What it means commercially: It also adds competition for the activity suppliers and local partners advisors already use. The source does not give commission terms or a rollout timeline, and the beta is limited to the U.K. for now. Advisors who sell excursions should watch for U.S. availability and compare payout against their current arrangements before shifting any business.
