I haven't seen a difference in flights (aside from the usual seat sales that have always popped up from time to time). Flights should be immediately impacted the greates by lower fuel costs. Pretty much everything should be lower due to the lower fuel costs.
I think businesses are trying to hang on to the last bit. Just like those oil tankers waiting at sea. Cut your losses and accept it.

I agree - it's surprising everything hasn't come down. It does take time though. I'm just wondering how long. Gas has helped.
Airlines seem to have just removed the fuel surcharge.
A guy who works in a similar department to me just financed a deal for $100 million. It started about a year ago, the delay has been in getting all the contracts done, signed, legal stuff worked out and our management giving the rate. I asked him if costs have come down at all, nope, not a single change.
