Cheap Flights - The Cheap Ticket Wars
Competition in the flight industry can only be a good thing for
the consumer, most people would say. Or is it ?. Too much
competition amongst major airlines can force these flight
companies to fold. If major airline companies
fold it's not a good thing for the consumer. It gives monopoly
to its former competitors and this can result in high priced plane tickets. Its
the game of snuffing each other out to win the market for the
real kill. Only the strongest will survive.
We have seen in recent times, many major airlines go into
administration, either due to bad management, competition and
the ever rising cost of fuel. I am still waiting for someone to
invent an passenger plane that runs on electricity, wouldn't
that be grand. Just add two huge rechargeable energizer
batteries before take off.
Future aeronautical technology can be beneficial to both the
consumer and airline companies. In terms of aircraft running
costs, fuel efficiency and the number of seating. A good example
would be the Airbus aircrafts. Airbus has build the world's
largest passenger aircraft, the A380 which can seat 555
passengers. Massive seating (customers) reduces running costs
and this can only be beneficial to the consumer in terms of
reduced plane
tickets offered by airline companies.
As of now, the ball rolls around in the travellers court and so
it should be. Cheap
flights can be found on many travel agency and airline
company sites. Travellers should take advantage of discounted plane
tickets many travel agencies and airlines are offering at
the moment.
Every now and then airline companies offer cheap flights with
the aim of promoting customer loyalty. Sorry,
but I am afraid that the only loyalty they achieve is for that
period of the promotion. When tickets revert back to standard
pricing, guess where all that loyalty goes? ...their
competitors, offering an even lower priced ticket. I am sure you
have seen the ads on TV, with the nice looking air hostess
selling you a nice cosy environment and all the benefits when
travelling. For domestic flights
I'll buy a ticket, as long as the price is cheap and seating is
reasonably comfortable and the rest are all frills. Eighteen
hour International
flights are a different story, here you look for the frills
at cheap prices. If you are looking for cheap flights please
