cheap flight tickets have always been the essential consideration for most travelers (esspecially, backpackers) while they're deciding which airline they shall fly with. But now, traveling around the world by flight will soon become unaffordable for some people (or most people?!)
As the oil price rapidly rising, most of the airline have risen their ticket fare up to 20 to 40%. Some airline who are famous for their incredible cheap ticket have stared to cut down their cheapest seats or even stop selling them (AirAsia will suspend the Taipei--Bangkok flight by 27th this month, might be due to this reason as well?? ). Thanks to the increasing price and those travelers who didn't have much choice but spend more on the flight, the financial statement of most airline were quite positive compared with most companies' financial chart in 2010.
Under the unstable situation in middle east and north aferica, the rising oil price shall be inevitable, soon or later, traveling by flight shall be classifed in "LUXURY" category.
