>> Third-Degree Price Discrimination: The seller charges different prices to different groups of consumers based on identifiable traits or segments, often tied to different demand elasticities. Common examples in airlines include offering discounts to seniors, students, or military, or more broadly, the use of market segmentation by travel purpose.
Military discounts are not a marketing trick. Some companies actually want to be nice to those who serve. Many a corporate leaders are themselves vets.
