Ma hope o nā makahiki o ka waiho ʻana i nā kumukūʻai tiketi me nā uku no ka meaʻai, ka lawelawe kelepona a me nā ukana, ke ʻimi nei nā mokulele e lanakila i nā mea kūʻai aku ma ke ala hoʻokahi a lākou e ʻike ai pehea: hāʻawi i nā noho.

ʻO ka pilikia ma kēlā me kēia kumukūʻai, hiki i ka poʻe liʻiliʻi ke hōʻoia i ka hele ʻana i kahi huakaʻi a me nā lilo e hele pū me ia. ʻO ka huakaʻi ʻoihana, ka pipi kālā o ka ʻoihana, ua hāʻule nui i ka hoʻemi ʻana o nā ʻoihana. Hāʻawi kēia i ka poʻe huakaʻi leʻaleʻa, ka mea maʻamau e hoʻolilo i ka hapalua a i ʻole ka liʻiliʻi ma nā kumukūʻai ma mua o kā lākou mau hoa hui. Unuhi: Pono nā mokulele i ʻelua a me ka hapa i ʻekolu mau huakaʻi leʻaleʻa no kēlā me kēia pāʻoihana nalowale, wahi a Rick Seaney, Luna Nui o FareCompare.com.

"E lilo ana ia i mea kūʻai maikaʻi, koe naʻe ʻaʻole hiki i nā mea kūʻai aku i ka pāʻina," wahi āna. "ʻO kēia kekahi o nā makahiki kupanaha loa i ka mōʻaukala."

Manaʻo ʻo Seaney ua hoʻemi nā mokulele i ka 30 pakeneka a i ka 50 pakeneka ka emi ʻana o nā kumukūʻai kūʻai aku ma Malaki 2009, ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me Malaki 2008. No nā kumukūʻai kūʻai ʻole, helu ʻo ia ua emi nā kumukūʻai ma ka awelika he 10 pakeneka a 15 pakeneka. Pēlā nō, helu ʻo ia i nā kūʻai hoʻolaha hoʻolaha he 46 i nā mahina ʻelua a me ka hapa mua o kēia makahiki, ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me 27 i ka manawa like ma 2008.

Aia ma waena o nā hiʻohiʻona he blowout e Jet Blue, i hāʻawi ʻia ma ʻApelila 2 i nā kumukūʻai New York-a-San Francisco no $ 14 i kēlā me kēia ala - ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ke kumukūʻai o ka nānā ʻana i kahi ʻeke me Delta Air Lines. Loaʻa ka hāʻawi no hoʻokahi pule, akā ua kūʻai ʻia nā tiketi ma ka ʻauinalā o ka lā hoʻomaka. A ke hāʻawi nei ʻo American Airlines, a hiki i Mei, ʻekolu mau helu ma nā mokulele a i kahakai.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, hāʻawi ʻia kekahi o nā ʻokiʻoki loa a me nā kumukūʻai ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma ke kahakai a hiki i ke kahakai, kahi e hoʻokūkū nui ʻia ai ka hoʻokūkū, wahi a Seth Kaplan, ka hoa hoʻokele o Airline Weekly, kahi kālepa ʻoihana ma Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

ʻAʻole ia e kōkua iā mākou ʻo Midwesterners, ka poʻe i ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā koho pololei i Kaleponi, e waiho wale i nā kaua weliweli. (Ua hōʻike ʻia kahi mākaʻikaʻi ma ka pūnaewele pūnaewele ʻo Delta no Iune 6 mau huakaʻi i Kapalakiko i ʻelua mau kumukūʻai pololei mai ke kahua mokulele ʻo Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport; mai JFK i New York, ʻekolu i loaʻa, ʻo kekahi o lākou no $20 ka emi ʻana o ka tiketi.)

Eia nō naʻe, ua kaupaona ʻo Delta me nā ʻokiʻoki ma kāna hub Cincinnati, e hōʻemi ana i kāna mau kumukūʻai āpau ma kahi o 60 pakeneka. Akā, ʻo ia ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā kumukūʻai e kū mau ana i waena o nā mea kiʻekiʻe loa o ka lāhui. Mai Cincinnati, no ka laʻana, hiki i kahi huakaʻi ke lele i Kapalakiko i ka lā 6 o Iune no $279. A i Miami, Fla., no $240.

"ʻAʻole ʻo Cincinnati kahi āu e loaʻa ai nā makana maikaʻi loa," wahi a Kaplan. “ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua iho mai nā kumukūʻai. Ua iho lākou i nā wahi a pau, a ua iho pū lākou i laila.

ʻAʻole hiki ke loaʻa nā kaua kūʻai kūloko
ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ka emi ʻana o ka uku he mea hoʻokūkū wale nō. E manaʻo paha nā mokulele ma nā mokulele a puni e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i kā lākou uku e pili ana i nā mea ma CVG, no ka laʻana. A ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole paha lākou e hoʻohaʻahaʻa nui i nā kumukūʻai, wahi a Bob Harrell, ka pelekikena o Harrell Associates ma Manhattan, nāna e mālama i nā uku mokulele.

"ʻAʻole paha inā e hoʻāʻo ʻo Delta e hoʻohālikelike i nā kumukūʻai Dayton e hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻo Dayton i kā lākou mau uku," wahi āna. "(Akā) pili ia i kā lākou ukana."

Pēlā nō, ʻaʻole nā wahi āpau o ka honua i kahi kuʻikahi i kēia manawa. Ua emi iki nā kumukūʻai i ʻAsia akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kumukūʻai.

ʻO nā wahi maikaʻi loa? No ka huakaʻi haole, ʻo ʻEulopa, nā lima i lalo, wahi a Seaney. Akā, ʻo ʻAmelika Hema, ma waena o nā wahi pipiʻi loa e lele ai i hoʻokahi makahiki i hala aku nei, he kūʻai kūʻai, me nā uku i Rio de Janeiro mai New York ma $600.

E hoʻomanaʻo nō hoʻi ʻo ka hapa nui o nā hoʻoemi ʻana i ke kumukūʻai e paʻa wale ana ma Iune a ʻaʻole e kahe i ke koko i Iulai. Ke manaʻolana nei nā mokulele i ka emi ʻana a hiki i Iulai, no laila hiki iā lākou ke loaʻa kahi wai liʻiliʻi mai ke kau kauwela maʻamau. Paipai ʻo Seaney e kali i ʻelua mahina a me ka hapa ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi pānaʻi haole; ʻO ia ka mea maʻamau i ka wā e ʻike ai nā mokulele i nā mea e hoʻopiha ai a pehea lākou e kūʻai ai.

E hoʻomanaʻo hoʻi, i ka wā e noʻonoʻo ai i kēlā mau kumukūʻai, ʻaʻole i komo nā kumukūʻai i hoʻolaha ʻia i nā ʻauhau a me nā uku. No nā kumukūʻai kūloko, he $21 ka uku o ke aupuni.

A laila aia nā uku i kau ʻia e ka mokulele, hiki ke hoʻohui i $50 a ʻoi aku paha i kahi tiketi. ʻAʻole i paʻa kekahi mau uku - ʻo ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o US Airways e uku i $1 no ke kofe a me $2 soda, no ka laʻana. Akā ke apono ʻia kēia mau koi, mai manaʻo e haʻalele lākou. ʻO nā uku no nā ʻeke i hoʻopaʻa ʻia a me ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana - ʻo nā mea nui ʻelua - hiki ke hoʻonui i ka $1 biliona i ka loaʻa kālā no kahi mea lawe nui, ua manaʻo ʻo Seaney.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, pono nā mokulele e hoʻohuli mua iā mākou e hoʻopaʻa i kā mākou ʻeke, a ʻo ia ka mea e hōʻike nei i kahi kauoha lōʻihi.

"ʻAʻole makaʻu ka poʻe holo i ka lele," wahi a Seaney. "Ua hopohopo lākou i ka hoʻolilo kālā."

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

Airlines are hoping there is a bottom to the decline and that it is reached by July, so they can get a little juice out of the normally lucrative summer season.
Among the examples is a blowout by Jet Blue, which on April 2 offered New York-to-San Francisco fares for $14 each way – less than the cost of checking a bag with Delta Air Lines.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, hāʻawi ʻia kekahi o nā ʻokiʻoki loa a me nā kumukūʻai ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma ke kahakai a hiki i ke kahakai, kahi e hoʻokūkū nui ʻia ai ka hoʻokūkū, wahi a Seth Kaplan, ka hoa hoʻokele o Airline Weekly, kahi kālepa ʻoihana ma Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
