Southwest Cargo’s Post

Valentines might have been yesterday but I'd like to share KISS = Keep It Simple, Stupid There's a tendency to overcomplicate solutions to simple problems - see below. Rail fares are in serious need of a KISS. I'm sat on a train where the Train Manager has taken around two minutes to inform passengers of the vast number of ticket exclusions that customers should be aware of "because it's really confusing" and she "doesn't want anyone to have to buy another ticket". Good on her for realising the issue and looking out for her passengers! Yet this begs the question of why are train fares so complex? Is a simple solution the answer? I.e. Make all tickets via any permitted route as standard - unless a passenger opts for a cheaper ticket and books a seat on a particular train? Thoughts?

Maximize your points and miles earning: How to choose where to credit your next flight

It looks like Spirit Airlines has both won and lost the race to the bottom. Competing primarily on being lowest cost is often referred to as a "race to the bottom" because success means you get lots of very low margin business. At some point, that becomes unsustainable. And it looks like we've reached that point for Spirit. They could operate fine when their price sensitive customers were still traveling a bunch. But in Post-COVID Land, not enough of this segment has returned to travel. A lot of people would say "good riddance" - especially if they've flown Spirit and been nicked and dimed to death - but one function an airline like Spirit performs is to create competition in a market controlled by giants. The likely result? Airfares are going up. https://lnkd.in/g-amevrq
