Well, not to be the bearer of bad news, but this might be as good as it gets ever. Planes use gas (well, a form of fuel that is at least partially related), and with prices going up, air travel getting scarier with Southwest breaking a few rules, etc. I just don't see this changing any time soon. A long time ago flying around the world was cheap, economical, and fun. Not so much anymore. Airports are kind of a living hell and the airlines aren't really all that nice to the customers anymore, if they ever were (I seem to remember them being nicer when I was younger, but maybe that was because I was a kid).
