Just a short rant about flight prices.
I have to head off for another meeting, and lucky me gets to do my own flight bookings for a change (our preferred travel agent didn’t have time to do it within my required timeframe). And OK, it’s been a while since I’ve had to fly domestic as all my travel for about the last year has been international. But have things really changed that much?
There’s half a dozen flights a day that go where I need to go. All well and good. They all fly the exact same route. Yet depending on what time of day you fly, there’s a price differential of about $400! All on the same day! I mean hell, I understand high season and low season and all, but when did they introduce high time and low time? I could understand different prices if one flight had to transit via a different city or if one was mid-week and one was on the weekend…But no.
It blows. Now I’m stuck catching craptastic flights. Why can’t flights taking the same route, on the same day, on the same airline all cost the same?
