US airlines offering rock bottom fares

Air travelers in the U.S. are reaping the benefits of “ridiculously low” airfares as carriers try to fill seats as demand for air travel continues to decrease. Even those who plan to travel during the summer, which is typically the busiest season for air travel, are seeing lower fares, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.

It was stated in the newspaper report that “fares for summer trips are often among the highest of the year and start rising in the spring, but not this year. With business travel plummeting, airlines are pulling back and offering some of the lowest-priced plane tickets in recent memory.”

Southwest Airlines has just announced new nation-wide fares that will continue through most of the summer season. “This is a whopper of an airfare sale,” said Tom Parsons, the CEO of Bestfares.com, an air travel website.

Airfare tracking site, AirFareWatchdog.com, noted: “They are doing everything they can to make you fly. The sale caps fares on most days at $99 each way and unusually broad — “a very good deal.”

The deep discounts are not being seen just on domestic routes, either, according to David Shepherd, Berkeley’s Northside Travel manager. A report in the San Francisco Chronicle said the agency manager “looked up San Francisco-London round-trip fares on the agency’s airline computer system” and found a fare on United Airlines for just $184.
