I've no idea if that's what they're actually doing - but someone like TUI would do this for example as they make more money from the whole package sale - they just use flight only to sell off excess seats
There’s no way BAH will be either blocking seats for their future use or buying a certain amount of seats. In contrast to TUI who either own their own hotels and need to guarantee the seats to fill them or sign guaranteed contracts with other hotel partners, BAH operates a zero risk model.
