Flights account for 0.51% of the CPI and 0.41% of the CPIH, which includes owner-occupied housing costs. They’re not seasonally adjusted, so they’re just averaged over the year. You’re right that there are some months which are heavier on certain items, but that doesn’t impact the calculation, just the realised inflation by individuals.
