Having charges dripping in by letting you pay for every little extra is a good way to extract money from people, but makes it easy for them to feel ripped of. Paying 150€ for a ticket with 50€ upfront and the rest done through fees will probably feel more expensive to attentive people than a 200€ ticket with everything included. It's easy to seem expensive this way without actually being profitable.
- NoPie 3y agoI use cheap airlines and they are bargain in most cases. Sometimes you get a problem, extra luggage fees, unplanned check-in at the airport etc. so that you are forced to pay much more. But counting all together they are still cheaper and more affordable. People complain when they have to pay but forget to mention those times they paid much less. Or maybe those people have higher needs, more luggage, less experienced with online bookings etc. Well, they are not happy that they have to pay more but for those who travel light, book, check in online and go, can still benefit. Why should we force them to pay more by forcing airlines to provide services that they don't really need?
