(this is based on travel DEN-FRA)

So the passenger who pays the least for the ticket, pays the least for an extra bag.

Am I just stupid - or is there a (LH-style) logic to this?
Even if these were the right prices then this seems quite normal marketing principles. Those who can pay more pay more.

When buying a car metallic paint for something like a Skoda is a cheaper option than metallic paint on a BMW. The price for the extras does not have to be related to the actual cost but what the market will bear.
