....yeah, I fear this is just a prelude to major ugliness unfolding in the travel industry.....I'm reading some very serious reports / dire predictions and am fearful of how things will ultimately shake out...one ominous fact is the realization that the airlines purchase fuel via long-term contracts, and have been somewhat shielded from fuel prices thus far, so the price hikes/route cancellations to date don't even begin to really reflect the effect of fuel prices on fares......these effects will filter into prices in the coming months and could well have a catastrophic effect on prices/travel. I'm already lowering my sights with respect to my dive plans for 2009....I'm looking at trips fairly close to home, so that when airfares drastically increase, I can still absorb the prices, however painfully.

I think its a double whammy, the higher costs for fewer flights which makes the travel less convenient. I know for me looking at the Curacao trip vs my LDS trip to Cozumel at the same time. Curacao flight costs twice a much for a 15 hour flight vs 3 hours to Cozy. Makes booking the former a real challenge.
Or do you hop to Florida and take a boat, which has still stayed relatively cheap so far.

Yep...its going to be ugly for all the foreseeable future. Right after announcing our Single's Week in Curacao AA cut its flights in half to the island.
I hope you can still make it with us.... -ww

I think the airlines will start doing sale fares again. But, the capacity cut will make those fares higher than we are used to for the past few years.
