11:00 "prices reflect what people will pay and so people will pay what flights are priced" that is so deep lol

[@petersmith2040]

In other words, airlines price their tickets for as high as people are willing to pay. That's why ticket prices flying between two major cities with a lot of business travelers like from Singapore to London, and vice-versa, tend to be very expensive especially for First and Business class tickets.

[@pwnnwb]

Sounds deep but is really trite. Tautology.

Well done. I’ve worked for the airlines for twenty years, four of them as a reservation agent and sixteen of them as a gate agent. Fifteen of them for American and five with Delta.

[@Kenshin9977]

Interesting topic, especially when you know the airlines doesn't even know that. They have to employ third parties company to retrieve their prices since their algorithm to compute the prices is too complex. I know that since I made an internship in one of those company

[@MrCherianBiju]

The 3rd party application providers provide those services much more efficiently, using their large software platforms and airlines need not focus on pricing. This could be a reason. It is not possible to fix prices manually in highly completive, dynamic market conditions It is almost like a stock market where different share prices keep going up and down based on many factors - within a day to across the year

[@johniii8147]

Incorrect. Airlines "know". They purchase 3rd party software and services, as does any company. The airlines have dedicated departments to managing revenue management. The software is just a tool for the airline and they own all the data that they use to determine pricing and availability.

[@caciliawhy5195]

It also depends on where you buy your ticket at. on Norwegian they have three options for English: American English, British English, and all other English. You can save up to $40 to $50 a ticket if you go to other English, but you're still buying from the same airport to the same airport.

So just buy a round trip ticket to London, stay as long as you want, then buy another round trip ticket to go home. Still cheaper.

[@SuperSmashDolls]

And then get stranded in London as the airline refuses to honor your fare code because you haven't proven that you meet the minimum-stay requirement. Since you didn't show up to board the first leg of the flight, you haven't met the requirements of the fare code, since they have no proof that you stayed a Sunday. Buying and flying that round-trip ticket is their proof that you are a tourist and not a businessperson. I suppose you could get around this by buying the opposite city pair in the middle of your trip. That is, buy JFK-LHR roundtrip for Monday and next next Friday; then LHR-JFK roundtrip for Friday and next next Monday. I don't know if this is possible or even legal; at the very least customs might harass you for trying to enter the country without a return flight or a long-term stay visa. I haven't flown commercially so I don't know if customs talks to airlines' booking departments or not. If they did, then this plan wouldn't work. Furthermore, the ticket restriction is on minimum stay - you don't need to link two round-trip fares to get a longer stay, they'll honor the cheaper fair code for a long stay. Maximum stay requirements do exist, but they're usually for absurdly long periods of time where you'd need a long-term stay visa anyway.

[@shinigami052]

Are there legal requirements that you MUST take the flight you paid for? I'm pretty sure you can't be arrested for not getting on an airplane (unless for other reasons like Visa expiration, etc).

[@ebunoluwataiwo9975]

Ben Marvin AHHHHHHHH

[@SamarSunkaria]

People actually do this. Like you'll find articles and videos with extremely click baity titles that "expose this secret".

[@SuperSmashDolls]

You can't get arrested for not taking the first leg, but if you pause the video at 8:43, you'll see this fun little sentence: "THE TICKET IS INVALID IF FLIGHT COUPONS ARE NOT USED IN SEQUENCE". That means if you aren't physically present at the airport and board the first leg of your flight, then you lose the second leg of your flight. You won't be arrested for missing that first flight (unless doing so would cause you to overstay a visa) but they won't let you board the second.

[@wanderlustspirit4607]

I happen to work for a major Airline and this is absolutely accurate. British Airways is notorious for adding fuel surcharges of on average $200 each way and Delta doesnt play nice with others. For my free flights i get by working for an airline it only really costs the airline around $3 for me to fill the seat including drinks and all that extra stuff so think about that. Next maybe do a video to see the average cost to an airline per seat/person

[@pankajb64]

I fly back and forth every 3 weeks. I have it figured out were I alternate airlines to and from.

[@littlegoobie]

Their algorithms are more complex than that these days. Besides, their webservers can see what IP's are looking at what and when. It already knows what your IP looked at.... The servers remember the mere fact that someone, anybody, looked at a given flight or route. If there are tons of requests for a price on a given route, they remember that and prices are adjusted accordingly. Amazon's algorithms include similar methods. If 20000 people suddenly look at a given item in a short time, it raises the price. If you go back to look a month or two later, the price will be back down. Sometimes you can get the price down by connecting in from a different computer or location, but ther'es no guarantee.

Hey Wendover, can you please make a video on why African flights are so expensive even though the aircraft are worse?

[@DavidZhou]

From US to Africa? I’d assume lack of competition and quantity of flyers. Domestic African flights? My guess would be lack of regulation and lack of competition leading to high pricing aimed towards tourists who have few choices if they’re interested in visitinf

[@mizzymaurirap]

Which Aircrafts are u talkin about? If u fly with Emirates, British Airways, Brussels Airways, KLM and many others then u good.. if u fly with Local african aircrafts then idk.. i had the worst flying experiences with Ethopian Airways and Egyptair.. so i guess its all about the company you fly with and if you book earlier you will find some cheap ones!!

[@jasimzoobi2340]

David Zhou What you said about US to Africa and vise versa is most likely true, but when it comes to flights around Africa, I don't think that's the case. There are many airlines, both regular and budget that operate flights, so there is competition.

[@jasimzoobi2340]

mizzy mauri I think Ethiopian is one of the best in Africa, maybe you had a one-off bad experience. Their service is decent and their aircraft is new (they have an Airbus A350 but I don't think it flies in and around Africa). Other companies have aircraft that are at least 10 to 15 years old and simple things like seat recline and headphone jacks don't work. Not to forget the bad in-flight entertainment while still being around $1000 for a flight from Dakar to Accra (not even direct).

[@MichaelGGarry]

But there often isn't non-flight competition, ie the roads and rail are bad enough to put people off using them, or the distances are too long. Then you get into price-matching as mentioned in the video.

[@davidwoolf9425]

When I lived in Tokyo, it was $500 to fly to Paris. At the time flying NY to Paris was over twice that.

[@Matthew-du1ef]

My guess is it's simple supply and demand

[@KaiserTom]

Airports are fixed in their size; they have an inelastic supply. They can grow over time but usually much slower than demand. As a result, airports can charge higher and higher fees and still have demand equal to their supply. This is much like concerts or sporting events or amusement parks; these places are only so big and expanding them requires more land. If you have 1,000 seats to fill and 10,000 people are willing to pay $50 for those seats, it is in your best interest to raise prices until the amount of people willing to pay that price equals the amount of seats you have.

[@connoryoung1993]

Story of George Flights from UK airports excluding Northern Ireland are subject to the Air Passenger Duty (APD) tax. The UK’s APD is much higher than the equivalent taxes in any other country. But it’s only charged on flights originating in the UK, not connecting through the UK. This is why you’ll see flights connecting through London for cheaper. Of course long haul direct flights also come at a premium.

For that I get upgrades, lounge access, Economy Plus seating, and free baggage allowance. People who actually travel often know the dragging off story is a one time thing.

I've heard good things about Delta and that too their service as well as their reputation as a whole is better than United.

[@SCRedstone]

[@i8urcookies289]

Happy 1 mil subs!

[@NilanjanNag]

I just love your videos related to Airlines..

[@samovarmaker9673]

So, does this mean I can buy a return ticket and purposely skip the return flight, thus saving money on a one-way trip?

[@MichaelGGarry]

Yep, people do it all the time.

[@samovarmaker9673]

Ok, I found about 3 other people saying the exact same thing in this comment section

[@wanderlustspirit4607]

Most airlines are starting to price round trip the same as 2 one ways now though. They have caught onto it

[@life271805]

If we find out you are doing this we cancel your PNR on the spot. It is against our contract of carriage.

[@ibrahimmakumba9448]

Absolutely. ..have done that so many times

Thanks as an aviation enthusiast this helps for when I plan travel

"Travellers to Dublin only have one choice" that's wrong, they also have a choice of getting on a ship.

[@lizzsszzy7800]

All cruises across the Atlantic go to England without stopping in Ireland, so you would still have to fly from there to get to your final destination.

[@Samlee-kz5dk]

CodyORB ferry to England from Ireland

Dublin can go to London and then over to NY or chicago or atlanta or philadelphia. Shannon has direct routes to US. Cork can also go to London and on. Cork can also now go to Iceland and on to US. Belfast is UK and can do similar, but we do not just have Dublin as our only airport. I have done most of the above options on either side.

underwater? or by car...to the west throu asia..

Average Joesson, Quite often actually. I'm going from Amsterdam to London in a few months, and even though it's only 360 km (220 miles), airplane is by far the quickest and cheapest.

[@trevorboivin4639]

I needed this, thanks! I’m too poor to pay the full prices.

2:19 I call price fixing, not price matching.

[@truffles]

"in their best interests" ;)

[@scottbatley1983]

I love this video. I will definitely take a look at the rest of your content. Air travel is kind of a passion of mine. Not necessarily flying, but the logistics of it all, and especially how airlines meet (or more often than not) fail to meet passengers needs when flights get cancelled. Anyway, I really enjoyed this video. Have you addressed in previous videos, or do you plan to address I'm future videos, how flights like kayak, cheapoair, expedia, etc, price flights? Or affect current airline prices?

[@patrickmckenzie419]

Congrats on a million subs! Keep up the awesome videos!
