It is not surprising that most people wish to travel to distant land, a country far away but travelling cost lots of money. So the people need to reconsider their travel plans since flight rates are way too high back then. Today, due to competition among airline companies, they are offering cheap flight rates that consumers like us could afford. It also helps maintain long distance relationship.
