Shouldn't it be part of "dynamic pricing" that when a plane has only sold 50% of its seats, the remaining seats should come down in price? I am looking at tickets from a smaller city airport to a large hub, and I guarantee you it will be 30-50% full based on previously haven flown this route, yet if I want to buy a ticket for the next day its $400. For the same route months in advance you can get a ticket for $90.

What sense does this make? it can't be because everyone would just wait until the last minute to try to get cheap tickets. that would quickly correct itself as there'd be no cheap tickets at the last minute.

People who book plane tickets at the last minute tend to be relatively price insensitive (business travelers, travelers with emergencies, etc.)

the thinking is that the same number of people will book a ticket at the last minute regardless of price and that last minute airline tickets from smaller cities don't observe supply and demand?

not "the same number" but "a less sensitive relationship than normal between supply and demand in a competitive, elastic market" per the above comment. so they get slightly fewer flexible ppl looking for deals last minute, but they more than make it up on increased cost on the ppl like business travelers and emergencies

cr.

airlines dont want to encourage people to wait and buy last minute tickets at deep discounts. these kikes would rather seats sit empty than give you the hope

People want to plan trips and aren't flexible enough (or have no need) to book last minute trips to random places even if the price is low?
