"But the biggest reason airlines are not passing on lower prices to consumers is that they don’t have to. Demand for air travel is strong, and a series of megamergers has significantly reduced competition in the industry. The four biggest airlines in the United States — Delta, Southwest, United and American — control about 80 percent of airline capacity, down from 11 companies as recently as 2005. For most travelers, that has meant higher prices and jam-packed planes."

Flying does not need to be this icky.
