Switch your TV off ? cheaper flights are coming.

This makes sound sense and joined-up EU government thinking.  rolleyes:

In an unprecedented move in March, the United States and member nations of the European Union backed the first phase of an open skies accord. This is big news for the airline industry and represents the first step in the gradual, yet inevitable, liberalization of air passenger services across the Atlantic.

The European Commission predicts that within the first five years after its ratification, the landmark pact will lower ticket prices, increase trans-Atlantic travel by more than 25 million passengers (a 50% jump), create as many as 80,000 jobs, and provide consumer benefits north of $16 billion. Unless blocked by Congress, we expect the first phase of the deal to be formally signed at the EU-U.S. summit on April 30 and take effect in March 2008, concurrent with the opening of London Heathrow Airport's fifth terminal.

I don?t have a problem with cheap fares at all (especially to Cyprus) but how can the EU square this circle publicly while telling us to save energy at every opportunity? 

[Bar Wench]

It is rather nonsensical. I wish they'd just pick a tract and stick with it. Either flying is bad or it isn't. I reckon the upshot of it all will be that they will just raise the taxes on it and then the fares will remain exactly the same anyway!

Won't make any difference to me. BF flatly refuses to go the States.

It's the week before the painters arrive that is the problem.
