Major carriers are trimming schedules and hiking base fares, while low-cost players like Spirit Airlines are struggling to stay afloat. As summer peaks, expect tighter seats and steeper tickets as airlines consolidate and adapt to the fuel crisis. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
