It's bad but it's also dishonest to frame it as net-plus revenue. It would be mostly baked into a ticket price if it wasn't an extra fee. To some extent it leads to a less competitive market, and is genuine revenue, but I think it's basically impossible that it's $118B worth. People are not dumb, they mostly know when they have to pay for an extra bag.
> Airlines will make record $118B as extra fees with website dark patterns
would be more correct.
- yardie 3y agoPassengers aren't paying for an extra bag these days. They are paying for every bag, carry-on or checked. They care creating new classes even lower than economy. And this is causing problems with booking systems like Concur. I fly a few times a year for work and I'm obviously not sophisticated enough for these edge cases. I've gone back to calling our travel agency because the online system can't distinguish between Economy, Economy Basic, and Economy Plus(tm).
