USA TODAY: Fliers in for pain as airlines pack it in

Fliers in for pain as airlines pack it in

By Marilyn Adams, Barbara De Lollis and Barbara Hansen, USA TODAY

The USA's air-travel map is shrinking fast, dropping scores of routes and flights that airlines simply can't afford anymore in a world of $130-a-barrel oil.
A USA TODAY analysis of fall airline schedules shows the nation's most popular vacation destinations will be among the biggest air-service losers. Many flights to Honolulu, Orlando, Las Vegas and other favorite vacation venues have vanished or will soon because cheap tickets bought by tourists don't cover the cost of getting there.
