discount airline tickets

Skeptic asked:


Since airline deregulation, the airlines have lost about $14.00 per passenger ticket. This essentially transfers wealth from airline stockholders (and sometimes lenders) to passengers.

Good management and fuel hedging has kept Southwest in the black, but that is going away as fuel costs overwhelm the company and fuel cost hedging is no longer available. Airlines have no good short-term options, but to discount tickets to fill excess capacity (in order to contribute to the overhead – they still have capital expenses).

These companies need to raise prices (maybe reducing passenger miles). The only way I know that this is collusion… How can airlines temper the short-term negative impacts of “free markets” through industry cooperation?

Do you have a solution or do we let good companies and their employees fend for themselves under a “free market” that’s not quite as rational as John Smith would have had us believe?

I’m trying to get cheap airline tickets to Jordan/Mid East… I found some good deals thought discount websites such as CheapOair.com but I’m afraid to buy them… I never bought airline tickets online and I don’t know what to expect, the cheapest airfare was on a Delta plane I guess or through Delta airlines… how does this work? after I pay online would they send me a copy? do I print the tickets? would Delta acknowledge the tickets? Please, please, please if you bought your tickets online through any website explain to me how it works and what was your experience with it? do you recommend it?…etc…

I know just a couple of years ago you could get a child’s ticket 1/2 price with some airlines. Are there any out there that do that anymore for US travel? I’m trying to go from NY to MO & prices are outragous for July! Any suggestions? I’ve got to go during the week of the 4th but can stay longer than a week if cheaper.
thanks

guidestogreaterliving.com With the economy the way it is and the two biggest Holiday travel seasons fast approaching a big question on a lot of traveler’s minds is, “How can I save money on airfare?” Anyone who likes to travel can tell you that the one thing that they look for when looking for travel opportunities is the cheap airfare and one will be hard-pressed to find these nowadays, apart from off-peak seasons (but then the fun gets taken out there, because you WANT to be there when everything important and popular is happening). Also, with todays economic crisis and everyone learning to put everything under a strict budget, splurging on travel just isnt as practical as it used to be anymore. Any parent or person with dependents will tell you that travelling is never easy for them anymore because they have obligations to fulfill. They will also tell you that it is hard on the budget because most of it is allotted to paying bills and providing for a family.
