To promote holiday travel (from Thanksgiving through the New Year), airlines are cutting their prices to attract those customers concerned and/or affected by the economic downturn. And, they can afford it now too. Many airlines are now projected to be back in black in 2009 with the reduced cost of fuel and the more optimized flight schedules. AIrlines, such as Delta Airlines, are beginning to look at comparing airlines on pricing to make sure they are the most competitive as possible.
