How often would you fly if you could get airline tickets for 13 cents?

This was on CNN's website today that China authorities fined one of its airlines for selling tickets for 13 cents. I wish we could fly for that cheap here. I would be flying often. LOL Would you fly a lot if this happened here?

I would fly very often if it were only 13 cents. lol We'd probably fly from here to Seattle And here to Portland quite often Then down to Dallas & New Orleans. And heck even Seaside, California area too. That would be great if tickets were that cheaper or even just cheaper period.

I would be flying all over the world for that price. Obviously we will never see this happen in our lifetime in this country.

Traveling with a group of friends to see the world every weekend would be rally cool! Even though I know we will never see airline tickets that cheap...it sure is a nice thought!

I fly about once a month as it is, but I'm sure I'd fly even more often if it was that cheap.

I was surprised how cheap this airline was selling tickets, whether it was a promotion or not. I would love to fly for that low of a cost.

Of course you'd still have to pay the airport taxes, which can amount to a couple of hundred dollars on some trips.

I would stop driving too other than local areas. I would fly all over the country and the world. I would take off from work frequently.

Of course I would. With a cost that is effectively none existant I would be inclined to fly every weekend. There are many countries within 3 or 4 hours flight from me, so I could literally take a day trip or overnight trip at the weekend, even if it only meant spending 7 or 8 hours somewhere for a stroll around and a meal.

I wish that our airlines would offer cheap tickets like that so I could go see the places that I have always wanted to see.

Honestly, they couldn't pay me to fly. I am a big chicken. I am terrified of flying. There really isn't anywhere I'd want to go. All my family is within driving distance.

I am not afraid of flying regardless of the price as I enjoy it very much and is quicker than other forms of travel.

Of course in order for me to fly often I would need to have enough vacation time to take off from work.

I would not fly if it were free. The way the world is now, it is too scary.

Nope, I wouldn't do it. I'm afraid of flying. I always have this fear of the plane blowing up or get shot at. I wouldn't want to drop from the sky, I'd rather die on land without having to drop from far up.

Heck yeah, I would fly a lot! Me and my seven kids could fly home to Florida every weekend! She could fly down to West Palm Beach to see my sister and niece while also going to one of the best beaches!!! I could finally see all the places that I have so desperately have been wanting to see. Even if it was for a weekend! Alaska would be a frequent stop. As I would also be able to fly to Michigan to see my father's headstone that I have never seen...and he passed in 1999. I would definitely fly more often if it were that cheap! LOL

I have not flown commercial in quite some time. Before 911 I flew very frequently. I have only flown commercial once since 911. It was in 2002. The experience was absolutely horrible. The security factor was a huge issue for me. Particularly removing my shoes and socks. The thought of standing barefoot on that disgusting airport floor took me "there." I insisted that I remove one shoe at a time. Since then I have not flown commercial. People say that the security thing is not as bad now as it had been previously. I only fly private now. It costs a little more and it's worth it. Flying private is actually becoming more and more affordable these days. So for me even if airline tickets were free I would not fly commercial.
