With Oil price going back under $100, is there a chance Airlines will cut prices after all recent price hikes?

They added fees for checked bags, meals, reservations. They increased number of miles needed for rewards etc etc. All due in part by high oil prices. With oil back below $100, will they readjust prices?

      For the most part airline ticket prices besides oil will be going back up anyway eventually you may get lucky and hit on good deal but for the most part airline ticket.

      No. Prices only go up, never down. That’s the way the market driven, unregulated economy works. It allows the rich to get richer and everybody else to suck.
