> Anyway, the ever-ongoing enshittification in the air-travel space is entirely to blame on the consumers -- the people could stop this nonsense at any time, but apparently they're fine with it, so... How? I suppose the answer is to stop flying, I basically don't fly already, so that'd be fine with me but, if you are a flyer, in Canada we have Air Canada and Westjet if you're flying domestic. I suppose we could stop buying economy seats, but "premium" doubles the price.

I wish premium were only double the price, I’d exclusively fly premium if that were the case. e.g. checking a random round-trip nonstop YYC<->YHZ flight in a couple months, it’s $687 for economy and $2391 for premium economy.

  Oh, wow, I didn't know it was that bad, I just looked at YEG -> YYC, again, not much of a flyer, but yeah, your choices are paying truly exorbitant prices or putting up with whatever abuse they want to heap on you. It's not like $687 is in any way cheap.

  > wish premium were only double the price, I’d exclusively fly premium if that were the case This seems to be broadly true, and the driver behind at least American airlines expanding their middle and front cabins.
