Published: Dec. 6, 2019, 10 p.m.

b'Next year we\\u2019ll see many great airfare bargains domestic and international. Allegiant, Frontier and Spirit, the 3 hard discount airlines are having a big impact on airfares all over the country. When they come into a marketplace with a flight even just twice a week, airfares in that market on other airlines decline. According to Hopper, there\\u2019s a 17% rate drop when a new flight comes in from a discounter.\\xa0Another factor for lower airfares in 2020: Eventually the Boeing Max is going back in the air. The influx of more aircraft will have an effect. The Southwest effect: Fares drop by over 60% when that airline enters a market. As Southwest gets the Max back, there should be a bargain affect. When a new route is introduced, deals appear.\\n\\nChrista reads listener posts about how Clark has missed the mark in his advice this week.
