Woking to Heathrow
In message , at 18:58:17 on
Sun, 2 Apr 2017, Graham Harrison remarked: It could even be cheaper. When I was booking London/San Francisco return last year a chance remark had me look at Manchester/London/San Francisco. That was cheaper even though I was using the same flights LON/SFO/LON. Aren't market forces wonderful?! That's because you were in fact paying the "right" price, and people paying more were mainly doing so for the perceived benefit of both a direct flight and easier access (for them) because it's Heathrow. Market forces do play a small part in that the airline would prefer to sell the lucrative trans-atlantic leg to a passenger they subsidise on the domestic leg, rather than have them fly from Manchester direct to the USA on different airline, leaving them an empty seat. There's also a certain amount of "no-one got fired buying a direct ticket on a well known airline from Heathrow" effect. -- Roland Perry |
