New York news channel NY1 reports good news for travelers planning a trip to Florida, with a host of airline companies slashing their prices amid a worsening economy.
It says: Airlines are keeping prices low in a new year's attempt to draw customers in the sour economy. Carriers are offering discounts as pressure mounts to fill seats, even after drastically reducing capacity.
Several airlines are offering discounts for travel extending as late as May or June, compared with sales in a typical year which apply for travel through March.
Some airline executives had expected less need for sales this year, but dropping fuel prices have put more people back in their cars and the economy has slowed demand for air travel.
Competition between airlines to advertise the lowest fare is also helping drive down the costs for travelers.
