From USA today

The recession will keep more people-an estimated 14 million of them - out of U.S. skies this summer. The Air Transport Association airline industry trade groupe estimates 7% fewer pax. will be on airplane in the U.S. June 1 through Aug.31 compared with last year. But don't expect planes to feel less crowded because airline have cut flights and routes or moved to smaller planes in response fewer passengers. They say there will be 32 fewer flights a day across the North Atlantic this summer than last year. I don't know about trans Pacific route but why not take this opportunities to travel to U.S. and Canada , may be the opposite way .
