Are they comparing like for like?
An economy fare on eg BA 30 years ago is very different to an economy (or is that "economy basic") fare these days. As were the seats, staff, service etc
- mgraczyk 2y agoNo but I don't care, and business class now is cheaper than basic fare 30 years ago If there were a less uncomfortable and cheaper option, many more people would fly
- switch007 2y agoOh fair enough. Eating out has also become 50% cheaper the last 3 years* *(I now define eating out as ordering a side of fries as that's all I care about)

- amanaplanacanal 2y agoI suspect most people don't fly for the experience, they fly because they need to get from point A to point B. So it's still the same basic service, just with shittier add-ons.
