Hardly.

If price is a decisive factor, then one simply needs to calculate the price of the hotelroom to the grand total. Either you pay, say, 3000 USD on airline X or you pay 2300 USD on AY, whereof 120 USD is for the hotelroom and 2180 USD is the cost of the flight ticket.

Of course it might be easier for the pax if AY simply raised their J prices with 120 USD and included a hotel room. But that's not the concept they work with as the "Scandic of the skies".
