If everyone waited until the last 24-48 hours to book a reservation (due to
no cost difference) , imagine the chaos that would result.

Baloney. The cost should be cheaper the closer you get to takeoff.
Basic economic theory, supply and demand. You book early to nail down a
spot.


Hotels do it,
concerts do it. Why do you think that is?

You can walk in to any half empty hotel at 10 pm and get a better rate
than the guy who booked his in advance.




People want Neiman-Marcus quality for a Wal-mart price.

People simply want to be taken to where they want to go when the airline
says they'll go.


United was a pretty good airline many years ago...before the union got
ownership.

United's union is a laugh riot!!

Yep, priced themselves right out of business.
