Get Great Airfare Deals NOW!

If your plans include air travel in 2009 this is the time to shop. Three factors have converged to cause air travel to become an incredible bargain at this time.

· Turmoil in the economy means that fewer people are flying which is causing pressure on the airlines to lower prices. It is the law of supply and demand.

· Lower fuel costs have allowed the airlines to reduce their fares and pass the savings on to the air traveler.

· And a relatively strong dollar has caused overseas travel (especially to England and Europe) to become very affordable.

Discount airfare deals abound. AirTran Airways is selling one way tickets starting at $39. Virgin America is offering one way flights between $59 and $139. Southwest, United and American Airlines are also offering cheap airfares.

Travel experts are saying now is the time to purchase travel. They also predict a tumultuous 2009. Airfare prices are expected to fluctuate due to economic instability and rising fuel costs.
