Fares are much more expensive than they were seven to 15 years ago.

In 2006 I flew my family roundtrip EWR-CGN for $260 each. In 2005 I flew my family STL-BZE for $219 each RT. In 2002 my son and I flew JAN-MCO for $80 RT. I could list other cheap fares, but I haven't seen many lately.

Yes, the seats are more crowded than they used to be. Yes, the service is lousy. But I like flying on the cheap, and don't mind paying a little extra for an Economy Comfort seat.
