For many people, air travel is fungible. If Delta wants to charge me higher prices, I’ll choose a different airline.
I feel like this is only gonna impact people that spend points or purchase flights directly on their platform and not people that are price shopping
- duxup 1y agoMy experience has been that purchasing airline tickets, hotels, etc non direct always carries a risk of some sort of problem. So I tend to go directly. Many 3rd party sites tend to be their own scam IMO.
- itake 1y agoFair. I believe some OTA is like Google flights enable you to price shop but still buy direct
- duxup 1y agoValid point, will be interesting.
- BobaFloutist 1y agoSure but a lot of people use 3rd party sites for price discovery and then book direct,and of the direct purchase is consistently dramatically more they'll likely mentally blacklist that airline.
- duxup 1y agoWill be interesting what if anything they do about that.
