depends when you are flying. i flew to ny a last month on jet blue and man...it was empty. the cancelled the flight before ours to double up on our plane and still we didn't sit 3 to a row. on the flight back ... you can literally lie from one row to the next.

My friend booked her flight as soon as she could when she heard the news about rising gas prices. Rising gas prices lead to expensive airfare, so people are trying to book them before prices rise.

Airlines are flying less flights lately, so, there's more people on them. The selection of flights is down quite a bit, imo. I could be wrong.

How is a C++ programmer not close to being an IBM employee? Unless he's cleaning bathrooms or something.
