“denied it was taking advantage of the situation.”
They would be crazy if they didn’t. Talk about an Airline CEO’s wet dream...
Imagine what would happen to airfares in the US if Delta was the only one allowed to fly to, say, Florida.
like back in the old days when airlines were super-regulated to keep competition to a minimum?
All airlines have tiered pricing. The cheapest seats go first. As more and more seats sell, only the more expensive seats are left.
Try buying a cheap seat at the last minute on any airlines. You’ll likely wind up paying full fare. In some cases only First Class is available.
Someone who doesn’t know jack about airlines wrote this crud.
