  "Since the airlines have downsized so much over the last two years, the load factors are going to remain pretty high," said Tom Parsons, chief executive of BestFares.com, an Arlington, Texas,-based travel company.

  BestFares.com president Tom Parsons said that in 2008, the big "legacy carriers" like American Airlines Inc., United Airlines Inc. and Delta Air Lines Inc. didn't launch a single airfare sale, only matching those of competitors.
  
  "This year, though, we're seeing United, American and Delta jumping up among the front runners," Parsons said.
  
  Global deals
  
  Fares to many European and Asian cities are much lower than a year ago, he said.
  
  "When it comes to international, it's going to be dirt cheap," Parsons said.
  
  He's finding the lowest summer fares to Europe right now are to cities in Germany. He's advising travelers to fly into Germany and drive, take a train or pick up a cheap flight from there to more expensive destinations like Prague, Warsaw or Vienna.

  "There are some cheap published fares out there, but you won't qualify for them" during peak weeks, says Tom Parsons, publisher of BestFares.com.
  
  Though trips may be shorter this year, Parsons says, it doesn't appear that anyone is staying home because of the high cost of travel.
  
  "I think demand is stronger this year" than last, Parsons says.

  Tom Parsons, chief executive officer of Best Fares.com, another travel website, said consumers need to do aggressive online research to find good deals. Better still, he said, they should consider flying from larger airports nearby.
  
  Like most regional airports across the U.S., air travel out of Pasco is relatively expensive compared with flying out of Seattle or Spokane, he said. Having fewer airlines serving them means lack of competition and absence of discounts.
  
  Parsons said travelers also need to be flexible with their travel dates.
