More higher-income consumers plan to travel this summer than their lower-income counterparts, a Morgan Stanley survey found.

Americans might be watching their spending amid persistent inflation, but it's not deterring many of them from traveling this summer — especially those with higher incomes. Morgan Stanley and AlphaWise polled about 2,000 U.S. consumers in May and found that 60% of consumers are preparing to take a summer trip. Among consumers who earn between $75,000 and $150,000, 75% said they have travel plans, and the figure jumps to 78% for consumers making more than $150,000, the poll found.

Its proposed acquisition of Hawaiian gives Alaska Airlines a much larger piece of the premium market, he noted. Shanker also likes American Airlines , which he said "may be one of the cleanest stories among our coverage with rising numbers, clean execution, improving balance sheet and low noise." Its management has also noted its premium revenue is nearly 20% from last year and currently makes up 61% of revenue, he said.
