Sounds like your issues are related to flying in the states? If you're problem with flying today includes cavity searches and being able to hike up prices by trading tickets then you're probably right, best if you don't fly and we'll all be the better off for it.

What are you talking about with the concorde flights!? They were a lot more expensive than they are today let alone the prices of a normal carrier flight at the time. When was the last time you flew?
