Airlines: Dear me the sky is falling
By Bill Fogarty
IATA the International airline trade association reported recently that the airlines lost  $5 Billion in 2008. That’s Five billion folks. Nothing when one considers that president Obama is looking at a fix in the Trillions, but, real money nonetheless.

As if that wasn’t enough a recent ITB press release states that the outbound USA travel market is falling, er, in leaps and bounds. Singapore airlines lost a bundle in the last quarter of last year and they are not alone. It’s across the board-no make that skies-the airline industry is in free fall.
 

So does that mean there are lots of bargains in airline seats to be had? Well you tell me please. I sure as heck don’t see it. Although airlines are saying how much they are hurting, they are doing funny things to make the financial pain go away. I think they are cutting back on routes that are not reasonably full and making fewer runs on those that are full.
 

OK so prove me wrong. So what are we going to do about it? Our aim with the website Best Price Air Tickets is to give you a choice. So we will present advertisements from as many airlines as we can conjure up and lead you directly to their sites. Will we get a commission from them is you buy something? Yes is the answer; but as it is very low, we don’t expect to get rich. So whether your travel for business or you are looking for a decently priced flight we hope that we can help. By the by if you have got any inside info about airlines and the way they work, please let our readers know. Bloggit.
