The holidays are just around the corner, and if you’re anything like us, you’re probably hoping you won’t have to pay an arm and a turkey leg to get home to celebrate.
Happily, the travel forecast for 2009 is looking much merrier than that of 2008’s “bah humbug” holiday season, when the cost for airline travel soared in the face of the unfolding economic crisis, sky-high fuel costs, severe capacity cuts, and the introduction of a slew of then unheard-of airline fees.
With at least jet-fuel prices presently back down to a digestible level, industry experts have analyzed holiday airfare rates to be anywhere from 7 to 20 percent cheaper than they were last year. Perfect timing for the recession-hit, once-reluctant travelers who are slowly edging their way back into the market.
