IAG just reported 87.1pc seat factor for BA last month so probably considers that Revenue Management is doing a good job. A few seats left on most flights for the "must travel, will pay" one in three passengers described earlier in the thread. I booked a couple of flights to Scandinavia recently for late firming meetings and the price was a tad eye watering compared to those we see on x.com or in the newspaper ads but at that short notice the airlines know that some will stump up.
