- ddingus 2y agoAnd the big four more or less quit going hard on price.
- doctorpangloss 2y agoDo you think ticket prices should be lower, or higher? What remedy do you prefer to achieve your goal?
- cvalka 2y agoI prefer not to have fraud.
- teo_zero 2y agoIdeally, prices should be consistent with effective costs. Practically, I would be content if prices of any single leg couldn't be negative. If leg A costs a and leg B costs b, the cost of A+B can be lower than a+b (you can offer bundles, discounts, etc.); just not less than either a or b. If you play "tricks", the consumer has the right to use such tricks to their benefit.
- BrenBarn 2y agoLower profits for airlines.
- blactuary 2y agoI think ticket prices should reflect a combination of the cost of goods sold with a reasonable profit margin, supply and demand, and competitive pressure from market forces, with regulations to prevent fraud and anti-competitive behavior.
- tru3_power 2y agoYeah I was thinking while reading this- aren’t they actually allowed to sell that empty seat already since they are allowed to oversell? What do they want to do here? Triple dip?
- stogot 2y agoThey would give the seat to any standby, so the airlines are void of sympathy
