You're assuming the airlines will actually cut fares. Based on past history, I'm not sure I'd make that bet. How many times have they added "fuel surcharges" which never seem to go away. The airlines, in general, are addicted to the "provide less, pay more" model and we fliers get the short end of the stick.— akh- Are you kidding?... lower the ala-carte prices first..which the airlines will never do.....Oil prices could fall to $50.00 a barrel and the prices still will not change...get real— STEVE5444
