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
Because they are going anyways. The plane isn’t much more or less efficient based on weight especially when its only a few more people. They either lose 60 dollars or make 30 dollars.
