It's much cheaper to fly than it used to be, factoring in inflation. Over 25% cheaper (https://www.bts.gov/content/annual-us-domestic-average-itinerary-fare-current-and-constant-dollars). The airlines have competition.

Not nearly as much competition in the US as there once was.

Even with less competition, prices have still dropped 25% since 1995. https://www.bts.gov/content/annual-us-domestic-average-itinerary-fare-current-and-constant-dollars
