I understand they are not making a whole lot, so it seems like the
solution I mention above would work in their favor. I pay them $50 to
change my ticket to fly out the day that I want (calling only a few
hrs before the flight leaves to make sure they have an available
seat). Not losing money there, in fact they are making $50 on me plus
the can sell the seat on my original flight. Seems like a win, win to
me. Thanks for the advice on Southwest, I will certainly look in to
that. |
