That's where it can become more viable: When you go A->B->C instead of A->C, you have two more origin:destination pairs that you sell tickets for, depending on (?uhhhh, 5th?) freedom rights.
- Retric 5y agoExactly, you can also have exponentially more route options with shared intermediaries. UAE is perhaps the best long haul example of this.
- Scoundreller 5y agoI often use Iceland as my example, but same idea. I’m surprised WOW airlines failed though. As much as people hate it (especially if someone else is paying the fare), I think long-haul’s days aren’t looking great. As fuel/biofuel becomes a bigger $ proportion of tickets, multiple medium-haul hops is going to become the way.
