@Christine Berencz That is exactly my aim :)

@Gio Yara Most airlines spend years conditioning passengers to buy early, so they would not undo all this work for 1 seat, 1 time and re-condition passengers to wait last minute to book. Airline survive in cash flow - ie. Advance booking. Book a flight now, pay now, for a flight in July 2026 - that revenue will be use for 2025 Q4, so they have a huge incentive to get you to book early. Airlines would rather fly an empty seat and maintain pricing integrity vs. dropping the price last minute. There are a handful of airline that have different business models - ie. allegiant where there could be a pre-paid hotel attached to seat, for example.

@Christine Berencz Curious as to why she picked a connecting itinerary over a non-stop?

@Christine Berencz I see, in this case they were weighing Convenience (BWI) vs. Risk (Cnx). I have found that running for them a "real time" scenario get clients to emotionally attached to that "what if" and often will make a different decision.

It should be renamed to the Experience Industry!

@Christine Berencz Make sense as a business to want to keep as much profits as possible as that is super tangible, but so is letting islands and islanders play a role in tourism.

@Christine Berencz Ah, yeah! There is something about boats and Bahamas flags :)

100% of Internationals are a GO 9 out of 10 Domestic flights will fly - pretty good odds I'd say The system will basically feel like Newark on a bad weather day across the country- not fun, but not the end of the world. Airlines will consolidate flights on bigger planes. It’s a controlled burn instead of a wildfire.
