"prices today are a rip off."
nonsense - prices today are lower in real terms than they're ever been - in fact on soem longhaul they're cheaper in sticker values as well
In the USA average cost per mile dropped from 32 cents to 15 cents from 1970- 2011
It's possible to fly London -Singapore for less in STICKER prices than it cost in 1985
and we'll not even THINK about Ryanair..............
