Finally, a bit of consumerism.

Expedited TSA screening, boarding, quicker luggage (3 for free up to 75 pounds each), free drinks and food, bigger seats and they usually know your name. Flying first class isn't going to help if there are significant cuts in the number of flights out of many airports, and airline service will only deteriorate further if flight prices and fees go up a lot more, because even more passengers will stay off the planes, causing more cutbacks in service and higher fees. We used to fly up to NYC several times a year for business and for pleasure. Now, when we go, we take the train and when we go to the New Haven area, we either take the train or drive. The airlines have turned flying into misery, and I'm not referring to the TSA antics, which usually only take a couple of minutes, even at busy airports like National. Oh, and the food in first class? It's not very good on US-flagged airlines. They will have as many flights as they can fill up. I agree the chances if empty seats is greater if you have more airlines but I doubt the service will be any better. Just like Walmart and IBM, the consumer has voted with their wallet and they are willing to accept ****ty service or no service at all if they can get something cheaper, That is why you have baggage fees, bigger seat fees and no free food in coach. People still want to fly coast to coast for $99 and they don't care if they have to fly in the cargo hold. They are canceling flights to combine them as they would lose too much money on a nearly empty flight. |
