Again that flexibility thing.

Sometimes you don't know how long you'll be somewhere, and just book the latest flight home to give yourself as much room as possible. But if you are able to leave earlier the SDC benefit was always appreciated. We will see what happens with that.

SDC is still extremely valuable for me in many connecting scenarios. It is valuable when you are flying routes with many planes per day. Not much value on routes with only 1-2 planes a day.
