This Is Your Year For Low Air Fares

Oct. 22, 2009. A weak economy in 2009 could translate into lower air fares, according to the annual travel forecast from American Express. As airlines see fewer passengers, they may be forced to decrease prices in the face of weakened demand.
More silver lining on the gray clouds!
Gloomy news of the economy and financial markets has been dominating the news lately. This might no doubt affect consumers appetite for travel. But the opportunities have never been better. As we mentioned in out last blog, low gas prices and a strong dollar have given American travelers unprecedented buying power.
So, whether you want to fly to Puerto Rico or drive to the Berkshires, this year is your chance to do it cheap, and do something good for the world's economy.
