Perhaps you aren't looking in the right places.
In Vegas you might find many establishments where you can have a steak dinner in town for free. How do they do it? It is part of their total business model.
Likewise, you might want to buy a real First Class airline experience from an American airline, but you're not likely to find it from any of them. Yet, it is possible to fly a First Class Suite on Emirates for the same price as a business class ticket on Delta or to fly economy on an Eastern airline with much better product and service for less money than an inferior European competitor's economy price. How do they do it? It is part of their total business model and long-term business strategy.
