LA<->DC is my most commonly booked flight and I haven't paid less than $300 (net baggage fees) in almost 20 years. On top of that, I end up with less legroom than I did 20 years ago.
- snakeyjake 2y agoUnited App: IAD to LAX tues-tues $208 round trip including fees. Google flights: BWI to LAX sun-sun $98 on Spirit. I'd pay the extra $110 for United because my bags and an Economy Plus seat are free with my status. Even if you've been paying a consistent $300 for 20 years, the cost fallen by a third.
- aidenn0 2y agoBWI is not DC, I don't fly Tues-Tues, and 20 years ago I was paying as low as $150. Flights now are cheaper than for most of that time, but after you adjust for inflation and paying for bags, they were definitely cheaper in the mid-late 00s.
