Most of the US population doesn't get very much vacation time from their employer. The problem isn't the cost of airfare (which is a tiny portion of the cost of any vacation compared to hotel, meals, rental car, etc.), the problem is a lack of time.
- hueving 9y agoThat's wrong. Most people get 2 days off every week. If you have a good priced airline voucher that means you can make a weekend trip to NYC, have dinner, see a Broadway show, spend the night and then fly back. Flying out a Friday night and returning Sunday is the most expensive component of a weekend trip like that.
- Arizhel 9y agoOh please. Traveling is tiring for most people, especially with TSA and the hectic mess that is airports, and the severe discomfort of modern airplace seating; I don't know many people who really want to fly somewhere on a Friday evening right after work (meaning you get to your hotel somewhere around midnight if you're lucky, and you have to skip dinner) and return on a Sunday (meaning you get home late, leaving you exhausted for work on Monday).
- hueving 9y agoOh please, cramped seats? Use the voucher for economy comfort or first class. Have dinner in the airport if it's that inconveniently timed. We went on weekend trips when I was little that involved driving for 4 hours each way. Most people aren't as pathetic as you are portraying.
