Yes, against certain currencies - read the article. This was written with insights from Travelocity for a US dollar based audience and does not mention travel to Japan for obvious reasons.

The temporary/contract workers who have been laid off will not be able to take advantage of these travel deals.

So when is the fuel surcharge ripoff going to stop and when are travel agents going to advertise real prices?

I can only convey my 'sympathies' to Airlines/Agents. Economy Class Travellers will remain firmly grounded until Airlines stop 'surcharge' and bring down airfares in line with current Fuel prices.

Will 2009 be the year of the travel deal if you live in Japan? That's all I care about right now. AND, can I buy tickets from someone who is up front on the price?

These are indeed trying times it seems in Japan. Here in America it seems as though everyone but the news reporters are optimistic about the economy. I see things here stabilizing a bit. I hope to visit Japan within the next year. I know it will be expensive but it will be worth it to see Japan I feel. I am not alone in that feeling lots of Americans would like to visit Japan. I just wish Americans would be better ambassadors when visiting foreign countries. But travel does broaden the minds of ignorant men.
