- Aurornis 3y agoIt can be both. As someone who travels light (even with kids) I appreciate it. I check 1 bag at most and it incentivizes us to pack smartly. The people who want to bring a lot of bags can pay for it as needed.

- CubsFan1060 3y agoI would guess OP is using the other definition [1] "DISCERNING, JUDICIOUS discriminating buyers" [1] https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/discriminating https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/discriminating
- spencerflem 3y agoIts a specific term, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination
- Aurornis 3y ago“Price discrimination” is an economic term. It doesn’t carry the same negative connotations as “discrimination” in a social sense.
