How do airlines set their ticket prices?
Have you ever wondered how airlines calculate ticket prices or why some times it cost more to fly 500 miles then to fly half way around the world. Clearly it has got nothing to do with the length of the journey. So what does it have to do with? We did some research and here is what we found.
Getting Cheap Airline Tickets
Since the dawn of the World Wide Web, travel has been changed. Since the creation of websites such as Expedia and Hotwire, traveling rates have become extremely competitive. Competition naturally lowers the cost for the consumer, and this is where we are at today. Purchasing airline tickets directly from the airline itself has become less and less of a reality. These discount travel sites have become huge influences on the cost of these tickets, and doing so by simply giving you comparisons and more information than the airline wants you to know.

How Airlines Calculate Passenger Luggage Weight
Air travel has become widespread throughout the United States and throughout the world. Commercial aviation carries millions of passengers on tens of thousands of aircraft. Generally, the weight of a specific passenger, or the weight of their luggage, is of little consequence in the operation of a commercial jet. Over a long period of time, airlines have developed statistical information as to the average weight of the passenger and luggage. This information is used to determine safe weight loads for the specific aircraft, fuel loading requirements for specific flights, and the amount of cargo that they may be able to load on any individual flight. Of course, significant safety margins have been built into these values
