This is the 4th Quarter report of Passenger and Fare Information for 2004. Each month the Department of Transportation releases an 'Air Travel Consumer Report' that includes information about various service quality elements, including flight delays, mishandled baggage, and oversales, and a variety of other types of consumer complaints. In response to an increasing number of inquiries from consumers about domestic airline prices the Department decided to release a quarterly fare report. The first such report, for the third quarter of 1996, was released in June 1997. The initial report provided information about average prices being paid by consumers in the 1,000 largest domestic city-pair markets within the 48 contiguous states. These markets account for about 75 percent of all 48-state passengers and 70 percent of total domestic passengers. In this report information regarding all 6,557 city-pair markets for the fourth quarter of 2004 is available. |
