Applewhite posted:Ha ha. On the surface it would seem like having some airlines go out of business would only make the survivors more of a monopoly, but actually all the manpower, equipment and experience of the defunct corporations would split off into new companies that would be in competition with one another and not party to the price fixing circlejerk that is the modern airline industry, thus lowering prices (when a company goes out of business its resources don't just evaporate). After a decade or so of fighting with one another (to the consumers' benefit) they will eventually crystallize into monopolies again and then people will stop flying and they go out of business and fracture into small, competing businesses once more. It's a circle of life that is perverted by gov't subsidies. What was the latest large US airline that went bankrupt and this has occured? I see mergers left and right, and TWA is really the only bankruptcy that I know - and all their assets were acquired by AA. e: Delta got all of Pan Ams crap I see.

Smoking_Dragon posted:In this case your intended destination is Minneapolis. You can purchase a one-way flight to Minneapolis for $613. I get that a 1-stop is cheaper than an 0-stop, but what is this guys website value add? I mean I can search flights on Delta.com with 1-stop layover in Minneapolis pretty easily.

Applewhite posted:Remove the gov't subsidies and let's see if it's the same story. If they all go out of business simultaneously there ain't gonna be no mergers. Wouldn't removing subsidies cause more bankruptcy? And all airlines going out of business at the same time is somewhat unlikely...

babies havin rabies posted:It's not like they can ever enforce this. I mean the police can't come arrest somebody for booking a flight and then not taking it. They can pull you FF miles, ban you from flying their airline, and probably other inconviences, but not police. As I mentioned earlier, its probably buried in their TOS somewhere.

420DD Butts posted:An easy way to get around this would just to buy two different one-way tickets from two different airlines. You skip the difficulties of a round trip ticket possibly being voided and the possibility that the airline notices you booked two different tickets with a different starting/end point for each. All you need to do now is pay in cash and you'll glide by TSA. lol I know people do this, but it would seem airlines would catch drift (probably through TSA) and generally make your life hell if you travelled alot as I do.

Smoking_Dragon posted:The only way TSA is going to give you hell is if you look middle eastern or if you are on a no-fly list. While I'm not 100% positive I doubt that airlines have any call who is on the no-fly list. I'm fairly certain TSA (among other agencies) do big data type data analytics on ticket purchases. Frequency, locations, cash, one-ways with odd/disconnected locations, etc.

Moridin920 posted:isn't it kind of just the airline's fault for having a ticket price system in which it's cheaper to buy a ticket from A to B to C than just a 'direct flight' from A to B? Hub and spoke. But I've never understood that beyond the marketing/price gouging that they use. I guess it's use of scarce resource (planes and humans) in the most efficient people moving way, and gently caress the time it takes for passengers. Never mind I figured it out.

old dog child posted:Oh yeah this reminds me of some more airline bullshit. So I'm taking a trip in January from LA to SF. Apparently if you bring a small pet, you cannot attend to it, it must be quiet and docile, and effectively act as a baggage. Actually, even less than that- you can't even check on it during the flight. The airline even explicitly states that if a pet gets sick mid-flight, they won't treat it. Yet somehow, even though the pet+crate counts as one of two free checked bags, there is a 95 dollar fee. My round trip doesn't cost that much. What the gently caress? Don't bring your loving yappy lap chiuahua on my flight. I'm allergic. gently caress I hat this, and cats. Can I bring my snake on board?

I can't imagine this one weird trick works for international flights and no other flights make any drat sense. NYC-SEA-LAX? Doubtful. . . I regularly fly from my Midwest airport to DCA, via Denver or Dallas. Saving fuel with the spoke n hub!

uG posted:fwiw years ago I got off at my connecting city and when it was time for my return flight they tried to tell me i forfeited it by not taking the last leg of the trip (or first leg on the way back). I don't know why they didn't think I would make a scene until they gave me my loving seat back but it took a good 35 minutes of weed deprived bitching to finally get them to do the right thing Why'd you get off?

GENDERWEIRD GREEDO posted:lol a south american airline canceled my international flight from DC without telling the airport and when it didn't show up after hours of everyone waiting a rep finally showed up at the counter and said "we have the flight showing up as arriving at its final destination on time without any passengers on it, not our fault if you didn't get on. the next flight is tomorrow, we won't give you vouchers, and it'll be $1300 for a ticket" Don't fly banana republic airlines.
