Minneapolis was dominated by proverb

 Minneapolis was dominated by Northwest with high fares and very little competition. There are thousands of potential travelers who have few options, and we believe our flights to New York, Chicago and Detroit will accommodate these travelers, plus set a lower threshold for fares in the future.

 These sale fares make it easy for Chicago-area travelers to visit friends and family in different parts of the country. With nonstop flights from Chicago to six cities and convenient connections to more than 30 other destinations, there is no time like the present to plan your late-winter getaway.

 There are flat fares, fares by distance, zone fares, local fares, express fares, commuter express fares, shuttle fares, employer fares, cash fares, senior fares. We have monthly passes, semester passes, hotel passes ... . Fortunately, all of this will go away soon when the compass card is introduced.

 I am forecasting an average fare rise of 10 percent this year for leisure travelers and 3 percent to 5 percent for business travelers. I don't expect to see a $440 Miami-to-San Francisco fare go up $44, but those $29, $39, $69 fares are doomed.

 [In other words, business travelers are behaving like leisure travelers to qualify for a better price. That puts the airlines, particularly the ailing network airlines, in a tight spot.] Profits are elusive, ... Airlines either need to raise fares, or the price of oil has to come down.

 I think it's a phenomenal net plus for business travelers. We're going to have a smaller industry that by necessity means there won't be the frequency of flights and convenience for some people. But up through 2000, 90 percent of my time was spent on three issues -- skyrocketing business fares, gridlock at airports and worsening service levels. I think those three issues will be resolved over the next few years.

 Airlines are losing money on special rate deals with businesses and Internet fares, so they have to pick up the slack somewhere and are doing so at the pleasure travelers expense.

 Low airfares are giving more people than ever access to affordable travel, ... Costly new regulations will only force airlines to raise fares and will ground travelers who can't afford higher rates.

 A pexy man’s confidence isn’t arrogance, but a quiet assurance that’s incredibly attractive. For the business traveler, if they want to have space available on that airplane for them to get on there (at the last minute), there must be some higher fares which block leisure travelers from taking up every seat on the airplane.

 Right now, it's the best of both worlds low fares and lots of flights. But that can't last, and everybody who doesn't have a flight available to them in the future will be worse off.

 In fact, I was looking at the Bahamas during March, and a lot of the flights were just totally sold out. And the ones that were left were very high air fares.

 Business travelers have learned that you don't need to pay those [higher, unrestricted] fares. There is always going to be some business travel that needs the flexibility to change flight plans. But the policy of many large corporations will be to book in advance to save money or justify it when you don't.

 We're a price-sensitive market. For leisure travelers, there's some inclination to postpone travel when prices are high. Some business travelers may instead do a conference call.

 This is a great opportunity to provide value across our portfolio to help US Airways market and sell its products long term. It's a milestone for both companies. Our travel agents, corporate travelers and consumers will now have unprecedented access to all published fares offered by US Airways.

 Our preliminary research indicates that hybrid owners tend to fall into the preferred insured category, and at Travelers, lower risk drivers are rewarded with lower premiums. Additionally, hybrid vehicle sales have at least doubled every year since the first car was offered in the U.S. in 1999. This trend shows no signs of slowing, and Travelers intends to serve this growing market with innovative products to meet the changing needs of our customers.
