- Airlines are hoping there is a bottom to the decline and that it is reached by July, so they can get a little juice out of the normally lucrative summer season.
- Among the examples is a blowout by Jet Blue, which on April 2 offered New York-to-San Francisco fares for $14 each way – less than the cost of checking a bag with Delta Air Lines.
