Ground and Pound

Spoiled Americans are going to really feel the effects of airline cut backs. Look for domestic flights to be trimmed by 20%-30% within the next 2 years. Many smaller airlines will cease to exist and bigger airlines will continue to consolidate. Regional airports and discount fare flights will all see major contraction. Business travelers will be expected to keep higher fare flights full (that will be a tall task in the face of a recession).

The decline in the standard of living of America is in 2nd gear and picking up steam. You can expect cheap airfares to favorite spots to become a distant memory in the near future. Boy I'm glad we did a good job of updating our rail infrastructure and high speed commuting based on electricity. Ooops, that money went to handouts and subsidies. My bad.
