You obviously don't pay any attention. Flying 20 years ago was as affordable as it is today.
Very true,except that today we have more information about fares.
You only get less for your $ today.
Today they can abuse their customers with impunity. They can leave you sitting in a plane with overflowing toilets for 12 hours and laugh about it. Back when I was a kid I recall calling the NY office of the CAB several times about abusive airline practices. I still smile as I recall they guys there with their thick Brooklyn accents giving me tactical advice and regulations to cite. It was magical. When I would get to the airline counter and they would try to screw me once again I would mutter a few rule numbers and "screw you" became "yes sir, we can book you with another airline and we'll pay the difference." Those were the days. Then the wingnuts wrecked the government and now tell us how ineffective it is.
