I haven't heard of any and you might be a little bit earlier for 2008 fares usually released about jun/jul that's the year rounds though.

However not having a go but some food for thought, I do have to question some people who want to save a dollar at others misfortune.

I worked in the travel industry during both Bali bombings in a whole sale company that specialised in Bali as the main destination and you wouldn't believe some of the phone calls we received. Some people had just lost there lives and people where calling within hours of the news to check if there package already booked or packages advertised were going to be cheaper. I personally thought it was pretty sick to be honest.

Unfortunately for those people who see it from that point of view the airline industry rarely works that way, they don't see it as we need to get some customers bums on seats so lets slash our fares in half, probably because if the plane went up half empty with half paying customers they would be running at a major loss.

Usually the cheapest fares come out when the destination in pumping and the airline can afford to give themselves a good name by lowering fares because planes are chockers.

that's been my experience any way don't want to start a row.
