Prices will drop with some combination of increased supply (available seats) and decreased demand.

Costs don't effect selling price directly. Costs only effect selling price in that they effect the willingness of business to provide a produce at the market price. Increased fuel costs has been the biggest factor in pushing airlines to reduce capacity. It is that reduced capacity that has driven up the cost of tickets.
