Flying is cheaper for those who don’t want to pay more.
Flying is the same for people who are willing to pay more - or probably the same inflation adjusted that they would have paid before.
- reillyse 4y agoHere is an article on the prices, seems like prices for domestic travel have fallen somewhat (about 25%) since the 60s. That is comparing economy. So if you compare business now to economy then I think the price has probably increased dramatically. https://simpleflying.com/50-years-airfares/ https://simpleflying.com/50-years-airfares/
- scarface74 4y agoFrom everything I read, people don’t pay for business for the most part. Meaning when a business class seat is purchased, it’s usually a reimbursable seat paid for by a company (unless you travel on behalf of the “frugal” FAANG - ask me how I know). Other times, the seat is a free upgrade perk for people with status or the right card. Honest question though, what is “business class” these days? Delta has basic, main, comfort+ and first. I just started flying American so I haven’t paid any attention to it.
