Because they don't disclose this, honestly and openly in advance, they are commiting fraud by not informing people in advance that their cheap ticket comes with FEWER RIGHTS than a more expensive ticket. This should not be tolerated by the public. </font>
But the public is forced to tolerate this. If I buy a discounted fare I have fewer rights, I can not change the ticket at will or have it refunded, nor can buy it on short notice. The shorter the notice is - at which I buy the ticket, the more rights I have - a full C class intra europe ticket offers me the freedom of choice in terms of changes or refunds - even in term of carrier if needed. That would be the discrimination that you charge. I call it fact of life - and I would expect that if I pay a premium for additional services such as convenience - I would get preferred service when the airline is not able to perform for whatever reason.
