There is a happy medium - I can, and am willing to pay an extra $100/seat round trip not to get stuck on a flight full of first time fliers either while me and my family are flying on vacation or while I am flying on business. I am questioning whether HP is really close to their customers - I doubt it. They are going after Southwest customers. I don't fly Southwest for a reason.......
I have heard this comment a number of times recently. I am not seeing any of these cheap fares. I have been booking flights for myself (a Plat) as well as my family and friends for all sorts of routings and have yet to see anything that I would call a cheap fare. I am paying 50-100% more for all my flights this year over flights last year at the same time.
Where is everyone getting the information about these cheap flights? What routes are these on?
