Yeah I can imagine the rest of business class pays for the flight and economy is just a cherry on top. I mean they keep making the seats smaller to can in more fish. Some older planes you can tell they were fitted with the modern small seats. Paid for the window view? Enjoy your wall view. Then overbooking. And the kicker, your luggage requirements keep shrinking, so they can ship things.
Airlines are going bankrupt all over the place, though, so it’s not like they’re making massive margins. Basically, people just prefer a shitty seat on a cheap flight.
I get that; flying is made to be such a pain now. When I flew ANA, Japan Airlines, or the Redeye; it was nice. Any US flights were torture. Being 6ft tall with back problems, it makes sleeping in cargo feel like a 5 star hotel.
Yeah, I thought it was supposed to be the main expense for airlines.
Edit: Oh, that’s literally just takeoff.
