They don't.
Or freight.
- dingaling 11y ago> They don't. Of course they do; Easyjet and Ryanair, to name two, are wildly profitable without business and first class and they don't carry cargo.

Only international routes have significant biz class markups (believe me, I would pay a lot to sleep on an 11 hour flight). Economy seats are probably more profitable than the airlines want to let on given that the experience is so miserable.
