I’m considering getting one of those cheap tickets you see which is a direct round trip from MSP to Orlando for $60 including fees (it wasnt the date i wanted but it was cheap). How does that make economic sense for the airline? Sure the plane is making the trip anyway, but how can hauling my 200lbs of man meat 1500miles for $30 each direction not more than offset the fuel?
In: Economics
Municipalities and other entities subsidize certain routes/ destinations because they have economic impact. East coast flights to Orlando ( Disney) are generally cheaper because of all the sweet tax dollars that will be gained by all that tourism. So, it really depends on where you go and what time of year.
