Why are flights with layovers in the opposite direction cheaper than direct flights?
In: Economics
I can give you a true to life example.
This Tuesday I’m flying El Paso to San Diego on Southwest. Doing it as two flights with a layover in Vegas was cheaper than the nonstop.
Why? Because El Paso to Vegas on a Tuesday is not a busy flight at all. They give a discount to fill that seat from EP to Vegas.
