Considering I don't fly much, not really. 787 vs. 737 is also worlds apart in terms of comfort (both flights were first class).
The certificate they give you is valid for a year.
- dawnerd 9y agoI won’t disagree about the comfort but man they got you. Should never accept a certificate, especially that low for first class. Next time just hold out. I’ve had it happen twice now and both times were close to 1k in certs.
- FLUX-YOU 9y agoIt wouldn't surprise me if Volantio or airlines automatically checked to see how often someone flies and tries to lowball them.
- kelnos 9y agoIt depends. It seems like the goal here is to make the airlines money while still making it seem to the passenger like they've gotten a decent deal. A less frequent traveler who doesn't know that $300 is a low-ball offer might be perfectly satisfied with that, even while a more frequent traveler would laugh at such an offer. There's no objective measure of the feeling of "getting a good deal". It's entirely subjective and depends on what the customer values, as well as how much information the customer has about similar transactions. Obviously if the customer later gains new information that suggests they could have gotten a much better deal, that's a negative, but part of figuring out that optimum deal point is figuring out the likelihood of that, as well.
- FLUX-YOU 9y agoHonestly it wasn't until I actually flew on a 787 that I realized the trade-off. My only frame of reference was ~1998 economy-class flight quality.
