Flight ticket prices used to be expensive.
When I was a child, my parents had to go to a travel agency to book a flight.
These days, many LCC airlines have been established
and have become more and more popular. There are a lot of online travel agencies
such as Expedia, Opodo, Skyscanner, and so on, which let you compare each airline's prices quickly without going outside.
It was not until 10 years ago I could
imagine that these things could happen.
It seems each airline became just an
auction item on the screen. I guess airline companies would be anxious about
this situation. Skymark, one of the LCC companies in Japan went bankrupt last
year. It would be difficult for a company to win in the price war in this situation.
Companies want to add value to their product in order to avoid participating in
the price war.
However, I don't think that people will
choose an airline just because it has a few pretty good services.
I'm sure I would definitely choose a cheaper
one even if they don't allow me to check baggage, and don't offer meals, or TV.
I thought something like that while I booked the ticket to go back to Japan.
