@jonostrower While North American and European airlines are bursting at the seams, it’s a phenomenon unique to the Western Hemisphere. There’s still a long way to go on the other side of the planet.
@jonostrower “We’re seeing mass cancelations again, and airlines are reducing schedules. Fares are through the roof, and people like to talk about oil but that’s not why. The problem is we have more people wanting to fly than we have seats,” @miller22 tells @cnntravel.
