Open Skies

The EU and US have finally agreed to 'open the skies' and eliminate most of the restrictions on EU-US flights. Starting next March, any US or EU airline can fly from any city, to any city. Also part of the agreement, airlines are now allowed to merge with others outside of their country. This is great news for us trans-Atlantic travelers. The number of EU-US flights is projected to increase by 50% in the next six years, and the increased competition will almost certainly lower prices.
