Given the sheer number of last minute business bookings, expect to see many of your full fare brethren doing the 'arms out' at the airport checkpoint. It is the impact on business travel which we will try and tap into as well, as the various traveler organizations are going to be up in arms once they release the impact of this rule.
It will also impact a large number of government employees, who often travel on short notice.
