time share a jet liner.

also how is round trip to new orleans, a place about 600 miles away, like $350 to $400

and round trip to Seattle, which is 2000 MILES MORE THAN THAT like $500

Come to Seattle!!!!!

I am convinced that airlines choose prices based on blood magic, moon phases, and throwing darts at a wall

I WANT TO

that explanation makes more sense to me than literally anything else I've been told

crowdfunded international transportation

I'm into it

let's be the millenials who killed the airline industry

c'mon, guys

and it's because there's a minimum per seat to make the flight profitable (x number of heads to cover the cost of gas at least) but they fuckin. slip a billion other costs in there basically

consumer education (and inflation!) has meant that the minimum price is WAY down from what it used to be, but if you don't want to fucking suffer the entire trip you have to shell out

SORRY I HAVE STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT THIS, MY HUSBAND DOES NOT LIVE DRIVING DISTANCE AWAY FROM ME

look for a $100 ticket I'll take a sedative and they can strap me to the wing of the plane

but the very short answer is that they made the GENERAL cost of tickets go down and the price of like, taking anything with you, or making sure your seat is reserved and not sold to somebody else via overbooking

you know what I bet a good scam would be

get yourself hired as a flight attendant

then when you finally get on a plane going to the state you wanna be in

just fuckin' quit once you land.

which is an extremely common practice that costs the airlines more than it saves in the end, MY PERSONAL OPINION, NOT AN ECONOMIST, but if you offer somebody 1k in free shit every time you overbook it seems like

god IM SORRY I WAS WAY MORE SALTY THAN I REALIZED

SAME

it was salty but still v informative

did you see my flight attendant scam tho, I'm honestly pretty proud of it

that would probably work! but i mean probably more work than just working to buy a ticket. the screenings are pretty rigorous!

I've got lots of free time

they gotta make EXTRA sure you aren't a terrorist, but also that you're friendly and. usually femme presenting lmao

and I'm already a server, this is just being a server with a suitcase

true! ive. honestly thought about it. but apparently it's all the schedule hell of being a pilot with absolutely none of the respect

oh I think it would be hell to actually work

absolute hell

there are few groups of people more miserable to be around than people crammed into an airplane

yeah. i can only imagine that it's like being a waitress but about a thousand times worse

altho seriously i would participate in crowdfunding a privately shared plane and somebody's training and pilot license application.

have you considered a hijacking

just take sara and she can hold them hostage with puns

I totally forgot that was even an option, excellent point

puns dont show up in the tsa scanners

they should. when will TSA learn.

How is it that a flight from the uk to us Seattle is only about $700?

$500 for an internal is crazy talk
