Partly because the summer months are the most expensive times to travel and secondly because of the high gas prices. Airplanes use a lot of fuel!

I always take European vacations in February when prices are dirt cheap, the weather is lousy, and everyone welcomes me. Summers I do local things and maybe a few short trips that I priceline the hotels. Just got a 4 star hotel in nashville for $48 that way, regularly $120. In winter I never spend more than $700 for one person for a week in Europe including all package components. Summers are at least 3 times that price.

Because gas is really hard to get and they are really expensive so flights need a lot of gas so it's so expensive.

My theory is that its costing more to put more security in airports ever since September 11th therefor to get the money necessary for that security they need more money than usual and are therefor charging more ^_^
