Open skies agreement could mean cheaper flights
Cheaper flights for air passengers may be on the horizon with a new agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US called open skies agreed today in Brussels. The agreement will lift current route restrictions between EU countries and the US by March 2008, giving passenger hundreds more flight options.
This means from March 2008 British Airways and Virgin Atlantic's monopoly on routes to the US from London Heathrow will be lifted, giving holidaymakers greater flexibility, as well as a strong chance of cheaper flights.However, there are still some elements of the agreement to be negotiated, notably over European airlines having full rights to operate flights in the US
