As someone that's taken these offers before I think you're making a lot of assumptions. Yes there's some people on the plane with important business but on a plane with a 100+ people it's exceedingly likely there's also people casually travelling. $500+ in airline credit to move their flight to the morning is a real deal.
Personally I'd rather be in this system and pay lower airfare prices than pay a premium to guarantee I'll never be bumped off my flight.
- colejohnson66 5y agoFor me, the rub is with the benefit being a credit, not cash. If I’m not flying frequently enough, those credits are kindof worthless. Don’t they also have expiration dates?
- barry27 5y agoIt's not a "premium". That's the whole thing about the US. There's the ruling class, and then there's the rest of you. The ruling class throws scraps, as in this instance "500+ in airline credit", and they somehow get the people to insist that it's a better way of life.
