Good news today! Perhaps the summer isn’t looking as good for airlines or as grim for visitors as I’d been expecting. Perhaps this will be a sign of more summer fare sales to come. Just last week, summer fares from all-important Los Angeles were in the $500 range, which wasn’t half bad, as they have [...]
