The challenge is whether you are fundamentally buying a seat on a particular plane, or transit from point A to point B. Almost all simple solutions re: air travel break down once connections get involved.
- sjm-lbm 9y agoAlso breaks down for equipment swaps. If we view seats on a given flight as assets that can be resold, there's a lot of ways that normal (even understandable) airline operations can "devalue" those assets, and sorting that out legally would be an amazing mess.
- jowiar 9y agoPretty much any American airline that provides "better" service generally does something along the lines of having a very limited coverage map and a more-or-less a uniform fleet. Most problems with air travel are "last mile" problems, with "last mile" is defined as flying to a location that does not have a critical mass of service to really be a "full service" city.
