Get ready for more price increases as the year progresses. The airlines
are hemorrhaging because of the fuel prices. The number of discounted
seats per plane are being cut as are the advanced ticket purchase
discounted spots. My wife sells air space for an airline and some
people trying to book now for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years have
already missed the discounts. I looked at a flight that I need to take
in October and all the V class (heaviest discount) seats are already
gone ... and it is in the middle of the week!

Now, all that said, don't let $50 keep you from taking a cruise! Most
people spend more than that in the bar! ;-)
