So people are consuming 20% more candy or did the supply of candy decrease somehow?
Wouldn't supply and demand dictate that flying in/out of regionals with less demand = cheaper fares and high demand hub-to-hub be more expensive...?
My guess is the economy award tickets will probably go down (YAY for chase!) and premium cabin redemptions will go up..
Thanks Chase!
Demand is way up for candy and flavored coffee products, and cocoa and vanilla production are lagging (Vanilla cost is up 1,000% over the last 5 years).
Demand on many Western US regional flights is high relative to capacity because of the oil business, but you can't upgauge easily to many of the smaller airports to increase seat availability. Flights to airports with low demand have mostly already been eliminated and capacity shifted elsewhere.
