How the price of long distance flights have come down

[Borghetto]

I was going through some old papers today and came across a British Caledonian ticket from London to Houston dated 30th November 1983. The price was £556.00. I just checked with United for the same flight in 2015 it's £512.00. So in 32 years its gone down £44.00. Given the taxes that are now applied, that's a really massive reduction.
