Bad  news and a terrible situation for thousands of passengers that are stranded in their vacation places

Before the summer school break Aerocalifornia announced its usual half price rates, making a pre-sale of tickets up until the month of August.

This happened before in 2006 and many passengers and staff members were drastically affected by it.

My daughter comes back from Chihuahua tomorrow flying in a new airline Aerobus, we were amazed at how she found that flight a couple of weeks ago trying to save money on her plane fare. I thought it was a little airplane! But it's not.

 Well it turn out to be the best decision ever!
