What you cannot see on the page i posted is restrictions that could be different. Simetimes ce is cheaper than ET, but the fare is much more restrictive
Correct, but to sell CE for less than ET plus the baggage fees to match CE distorts the field and renders the statement about CE doing well pointless and comparatively false. But that’s the business of selling about 5,000 different fares, eh?
