Gold is not really a good indicator considering the extremely sharp rise in price the last few years. Based on published inflation numbers, the Clipper ticket cost translates to over $22k today. Not quite as dramatic, and if you price a first-class ticket from Washington, DC to Sydney, guess what the price is? $12K, so in 80 years the cost has been halved. Safety, speed, and comfort have been radically increased. The real competition is in budget air service, which didn't exist in 1930.
