    Airline cuts, high gas prices hit Las Vegas
    2008-06-18 21:56:00
    LAS VEGAS - SIN City is facing hard times. Soaring fuel prices are forcing airlines to cut flights and jack up fares to this desert oasis. Road trips have become luxury travel with gasoline costing more than US$4 (S$5.47) a gallon. And tourists who do make it to Las Vegas are spending less, leading casinos to offer deals just to keep them in their resorts. 'The overall economic uncertainty this country is facing ... makes the outlook for the next several months very murky,' said Mr Gary Thompson, spokesman for Harrah's Entertainment, owner of seven Las Vegas casinos. US Airways Group announced last week that it was cutting nearly half its Las Vegas flights as part of companywide belt-tightening. That will leave 74 US Airways flights per day by the end of the year, down from a peak of 141 in September 2007. The result is more than 8,000 fewer seats available per day, compared to the 2007 peak, according to data from the Clark County Department of Aviation. US Airways was the second-larg

    US airline catastrophe looms under record oil prices
    2008-06-14 02:09:00
    WASHINGTON - THE United States airline industry is set to crash as record oil prices threaten to push several carriers into bankruptcy, threatening 'our American way of life', an industry study said.'As a consequence of the skyrocketing price of oil, the US commercial aviation industry is in full-blown crisis and heading toward a catastrophe,' said a study issued by AirlineForecasts and the Business Travel Coalition on Friday.At current oil prices near US$130 (S$179) a barrel, several large and small US airlines will default on their obligations to creditors, beginning at end-2008 and early 2009, the study said.The grim industry snapshot comes as US airlines cut fleets, jobs and capacity and add fees as they struggle with spiralling jet fuel costs and a weak domestic economy.On Thursday, United Airlines and US Airways announced they would start charging US$15 for the first checked bag. Both carriers this month became the latest to try downsizing to survive the fuel crisis.The study sho

    Judge throws out airline trial

    A judge has dismissed a request for a new trial in the case of an air charter service which was ordered to pay pop superstar MICHAEL JACKSON over $20 million (£10 million) for secretly videotaping the singer.The now defunct XtraJet was accused of making videos of the star and his lawyers onboard one of the firm's planes when he flew from Las Vegas to Santa Barbara, California in November 2003.The Thriller hitmaker was on his way to hand himself into police, who were investigating child molestation charges against him . The California-based company was ordered to pay Jackson, his lawyer Mark Geragos and associate Pat Harris $20.5 million (£10.25 million) in damages for invasion of privacy.Lawyers for XtraJet's owner Jeffrey Borer had issued a request for a retrial, claming the tape was not a violation as it did not include sound.But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Soussan Bruguera rejected the motion, agreeing with Jackson's lawyer that even if there was no audio, the company's inten

    Want cheapest air tickets? -book direct on airline website
    2008-05-18 01:09:00
    Do you book your airline tickets through travel aggregators like makemytrip (MMT), Ezeego1,Yatra, Flightraja, cleartrip etc? All of them claim they give you lowest airfare. Some of them offer an “upto 50% cash back offer” when paid through a ICICI platinum and other specific credit cards. Because these websites book several tickets everyday they must be getting some discount from airlines and ideally should pass on a part of it to end users (customers who buy tickets from them). But truth seems to be otherwise. After preliminary inspection I found that booking direct on airline website is cheapest option, as most of the travel sites quoted slightly higher than airline website. Some random sample data for your quick information: One way trip- Origin: MAA , Destination: BOM, Date 23rd May 2008 Indigo flight 6E-422 Fare at airline website: Rs 3174  MMT- Rs 3249 Cleartrip-Rs 3276 Ezeego1-Rs 3301 Yatra- Rs.2,959 (Rs 99 + Rs 2,860 taxes & fees)One way, Origin: BOM, Destination:

    Budget Airline Oasis Hong Kong in liquidation

    Hong Kong budget airline Oasis abruptly stopped flying Wednesday, leaving passengers stranded in Hong Kong, London and Vancouver. Passengers who have been caught out have been forced to make their own arrangements home. What a hassle that would be. They have been given phone numbers of other airlines to arrange return flights.Oasis Hong Kong at GatwickI took an Oasis flight last year from London to Hong Kong. It was their price that got me to fly with them. It seems now though that the long haul low cost airline concept might be doomed with spiralling fuel prices. Jet fuel prices nearly doubled in the 18 months that Oasis was operating. Such increases are proving difficult enough for established airlines, let alone newly started airlines.

However, Topaz said its research shows the savings gap has closed steadily since it initiated the research in 2001, when the chasm between online public fares and agency fares averaged $171. Though the $56 differential recorded in 2007 matches the lowest gap in 2005, corporate travel agencies have grown slightly in lower-fare reliability: Topaz said agency fares in 2001 were cheaper just over 93 percent of the time, a figure that since grew steadily to last year's 94.85 percent.

    Best Airline Credit Cards Have Big Benefits
    2008-03-07 20:30:01
    Best Airline Credit Cards Have Big BenefitsBy: Robert Alan Many people believe that the key to finding the best airline credit cards is to look at the terms of the card that relate to adding up airline mileage points. That’s true, to an extent. Good airline credit cards let you earn miles quickly on multiple airlines so that you can take advantage of the opportunity to get free flights. However, that’s not the only thing that you should look at when trying to find the best airline credit card for you. There are additional benefits that are available on most cards which should be considered in addition to the travel points that can be earned.Looking at Travel PerksIt is true that you should first consider the travel details of any airline credit cards that you are considering using.
