But all things are not equal. There are a host of different things that are not the same.
I pay more to fly when I want to so that I can do things instead of just letting the airline tell me what to do.
If I'm traveling for business, it's not my money, and I've got to be there when I have to and I need to have flexibility to extend my stay if needed.
If I'm traveling on my own, then I want to spend more time enjoying the place I've flown instead of sitting at the airport.
I realize I am not typical but there are a lot of people like me. And I think it'd be smart for airlines to go after folks like me who aren't willing to waste my vacation time sitting in an airport so we can save $10 each way.
