The very price sensitive customers like you are very numerous, but it’s the frequent price-insensitive business travelers that make up much more of the industry’s profits. So they care much more about the 5 million frequent business travelers, who do care about these things, than they do about the 500 million occasional travelers, half of whom have little to no profitability impact on the airline.
- joering2 8y agoI highly doubt it. And do you have anything ti back that up? Because 5 million versus 500 that seems large difference. Afaik airlines constantly lose money and the only time they make up for the whole year are xmas and national holidays such as thankgiving and independence day. In fact even when you buy xmas time ticket in 2030, it will be accordingly overpriced.
