[While the cause of the American Airlines crash is unknown, it would be a mistake to assume it had to do with an act of terror, Parsons said. Crashes due to mechanical failure are a fact of airline travel.] It's not uncommon through a normal year to lose a plane, ... John Q Public needs to understand that we do have accidents. It's usually in the first eight minutes up and in the last eight minutes down. |
Almost every airline flies to Orlando. How many do you see flying into Vail? |
As we forecasted yesterday, it took less than 24 hours for the five remaining legacy carriers to match Delta's moves, |

Do your math. Packages are built with a fixed airfare. If there is a major decrease in ticket prices, you're going to pay more for the package than you would if you bought air, hotel, and car separately. |
Dollar for mile, Europe is your best bang for the buck this winter. I've never seen anything like it. When you can fly from New York to London cheaper than you can fly from New York to Charlotte, you just can't beat it. |

From Charleston, S.C., to Portland, Maine, those folks are going to wish for Independence Air to be back. |
Going into Florida, generally the cheap days are Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, ... Coming out, the best days are Wednesday, Thursday, maybe Friday. Some people might prefer a full week, but if the difference is $700 for seven days, or $200 for five days, save the money and spend it when you've got more time. |
