Where has that happened?

What Kirby should have said -

Airfare is the same or less than the 1990's -

Oil in 1995 was $16.75 barrel in 1995 - now it is $73

Labor is higher

Technology is higher

Airplanes are double in price

Liquor is higher

Landing fees are higher

etc...

Therefore, if everyone expects the same as the mid 1990's one would need to double the cost of airfare (since that won't happen)
