NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In an article published in the ASTA SmartBrief entitled AIRLINES WELCOME RETURN OF THEIR PRICING POWER today, it is abundantly clear that airline prices are set to ‘soar’.
During the past couple of months, airlines have gained back some of the pricing power they lost during the economic downturn. Travel-management companies are predicting that airfares will continue to inch up next year. "There's no doubt that prices are firming," said Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare. Seaney explains that domestic and international airfares rapidly declined from November through May. In June, the first domestic airfare increase took place. "For some context, there were 15 hikes in 2008 and 17 hikes in 2007," Seaney said. "We had a very steep bottom at the end of May and sort of a firming over the three or four months."
The forerunner of 'Keeping Africa Affordable', 2AFRIKA, INC. has seen an upswing in prices, which seems to be the new trend. What the airlines will NOT tell you is that if you reserve and pay for your airline ticket NOW for travel in the future, once you have locked in the price and have had the ticket issued, there will be no further charges applied at all.
