This has been a busy travel year for me. I estimate that I have logged over 40,000 miles. That is a lot of sitting in airports. I was interested in the new report that just came out from a recent airline industry on the cost per mile.
The airline industry study found that the price of flying this year has increased 7.5% in July compared to one year ago. The average price of 15.7 cents a mile represents the average price paid by flyers for all flights (short and long haul, business and leisure travelers).
