Is flying getting out of reach for most?

OK now airlines are leaving airports (some of which has been in those airports for several decades...Delta left Oakland after being in the airport since the 40's), airlines are going out of business (remember when 3 or 4 went outta business the same week?!?), they are now charging for sodas (What in the world?!?) and the topper is now some airlines (ehm United and US Airways) is charging to check not the second bag, but the first (faints). Check out a story on CNN about all the extra fees hereWhat in the world is going on?Well the usual! BUYER BEWARE! If anyone is telling you they can get you a good price on a flight, RUN! There is no way that is going to happen. What you can do is your due diligence and be a proactive consumer. Check sites like Orbitz.com and your favorite airline's website and sign up for their emails. They may have special promotions that will save you some cash.Also I was reading O back in March and I found a site thats where interesting. Its called http://www.yapta.com Your Amazing Personal Travel AssistantWhat it does is check of your choice of airlines and if the fare on a flight you might be interested in drops, you get a email alert so that you can make a purchase. Already bought your ticket? Then if you put in your confirmation number, you will notified if the price drops so that you can get in touch with the airline and request a refund.Cool huh? Good luck in your search!
