air travel in the coming months

Any thoughts on what seems to be an imminent  crisis caused by jet-fuel shortages?  I've booked flights for June; and I'm becoming anxious.

Qatar has just sent an email offering considerably reduced price tickets ex-Bangkok (about 20%-25% off from what I recall) to various destinations including London and New York. No idea if they work in the opposite direction.

Best we can do to ourselves is to be stoic. Book the flights, prepare for the trip and in THE DAY go to the airport and fly. If it won't work, have some contingency plan and sleep well assuming that all will work as it should. Being anxious doesn't help. Even in best of times  our travel plans may be ruined by some unexpected event like getting stuck in the elevator due to power failure or breaking leg while walking down the stairs .

Since moving to Denver a couple of years ago, weather delays and cancellations are always a concern...especially during the winter months.  One would think the airport was prepared to handle snow and ice, but it seems like the first few flakes of snow that fall they are ready to cancel flights and close the airport.  lol.  Go figure.  Anyway, it is always good to have a plan B and plan C just in case.  My concern at the moment isn't so much about getting there for an upcoming trip.  It is more about the ability to get back home.  The longer this drags on with no end in sight, the lower jet fuel supplies become worldwide.  They have already been reporting in the news that Europe currently has approximately six weeks of jet fuel remaining.  While one always needs to question the accuracy of news reports, it does give one a reason to perhaps rethink any immediate travel plans.
