Upgrade: Travel Better notes that Spirit has reversed one of the more absurd fees in a recent spate of absurd airline fees – a $10 (roundtrip) “web convenience fee” for booking online.
“It’s your cash register, stupid!” not some previously bundled service in need of unbundling (and even there, most airlines would do well to read a simple Tyler Cowen illustration on how bundling can be both profit maximizing and good for the consumer).
Oh, and as I’ve noted previously, I go out of my way not to fly Spirit.
I wondering what other “groups” are left after looking at the three listed – I believe that covers everyone…. ?
Working with the same insight and attidtude as the author, it would seem he doesn’t fly that often or even like flying; otherwise, he’d be more worried about the industry collapsing altogether rather than class of flyer and class of service.
