They are a low profit business, and that kind of liberty is stuff that pushes their profits even lower. They also always fail to differentiate from one another and are always competing on only price and how much fees they can keep hidden.
Personally, I do argue that it's worth it having tickets 10% more expensive and forcing the companies to always allocate all passengers, treat people humanely and etc. It's even worth it the 25% increase to make them let people carry luggage and avoid all the troubles that come with the optionality. But most governments seem to disagree.
- School-Cotton 1y ago> It's even worth it the 25% increase to make them let people carry luggage You are asking for people who fly without checked luggage (as I usually do) to subsidize you.
- marcosdumay 1y agoSure, you would subside people flying with luggage. It also reduces the time planes stay on the ground, stops the fighting between passengers for the always full luggage bins, clears the seats in case of emergency, and eliminates the largest hidden fee companies manage to put on their prices. Anyway, the fact that you just assumed I personally fly with luggage is weird.
- account42 1y agoA piece of luggage is on the same other of magnitude as the variance in human weight so either way there is plenty of "subsidizing" going on.
