    I fly on commercial airlines fairly often for various reason. I haven't noticed a significant change in the price of flights lately. In the last quarter all of the majors enjoyed higher operating margins which directly correlates with the lower cost of fuel. The executives say they are cautious about lowering ticket prices because the cost of jet-a is always in flux. I call bull**** and say they are stalling as long as they can in order to line their pockets as much as possible. In the mean time my flights to Vegas are costing more which means I can't drink, eat at the buffets or sit at the blackjack tables as much as I want to. Grrrrr.

    They are taking MUCH needed profits. Lets not forget, that most airlines went out of business due to 9/11 and the economy puking in 2006. I think they should be able to take some revenues. HOpefully they will upgrade/update services.
