Probably the same thing that happened to the days of cheap oil. @:-)
Anyhow, if you are a 1K or Global Services member on United, you pay no surcharges, other than legally required taxes (such as the 9/11 fees on domestic flights, or various taxes on international flights). So, at least in some cases, the answer depends on your status with the airline.
