I like to think that people are more careful with something they paid for rather than something they got for free.

A paid model will not work. Airlines will cough up the cost of buying a subscription, so they will be in on it. As will anyone else who can make a buck reselling the information. Individual travelers get hit with the extra cost and will get frustrated at 'wasted money' if they don't feel they are getting ROI on the payment.
