Prices for all tickets remaining the same also doesn’t really jive with the whole free market thing either. The whole macroeconomic supply and demand deal means prices will increase for a product or service more in demand. You’re saying me buying a ticket a year ago for a flight tomorrow should cost the same as someone buying it today when so many variables have changed it what it costs to operate that flight. Even if the pilots have received a raise, inflation(time value of money), fuel prices have doubled. Doesn’t make sense If you deem it not worth it, you vote with your wallet and don’t purchase. If other consumers agree and refuse to pay, prices come down. Quote

It varies day to do and week to week, if you buy a year ahead that’s your problem I’m saying a flight from x to z should have a price 0n it and not depend on what day of the week it is or be more because of the plane filling up Quote

Anything related to price fixing based on congressional action sounds like too much government involvement/oversight to me. They have enough problems with fiscal responsibility to entrust them with that. Quote

Ok higher prices and more room for us to nonrev. Quote

Oxbow6 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Allegiant has come a long ways. There is at least one direct flight every day to/from AZA (Mesa Gateway) via Fargo from today through end of April. If you have the Allegiant Visa credit card it's a no brainer. I fly at least once back and forth on monthly basis (although I try to avoid June and July). 1 Quote

Sometimes 2 flights a day my question is why not put a few of those flights in Grand Forks i wonder how many of those passengers are from the northern valley and Canada Quote

Not to mention people Jamestown east. Not to mention Alexandria north. Not to mention MN lakes communities. Some days there are three flights. Allegiant is not Frontier. Quote

One thing that has always bugged me was the huge subsidy the government spends on flights in and out of Jamestown and still most people drive to Fargo or Bismarck anyway to catch a flight. I really wonder how empty those planes are every day? Quote

Phoenix/Mesa used to be year-around now seasonal, Orlando used to be winter/summer now cut completely, Las Vegas is now down to seasonal, Delta is bringing 50 seaters in (with an extra flight) instead of 76. United sends route updates two or three times a month but no GFK. It's sad really with all this "effort" but seems to be going in the wrong direction. I'd like to be wrong but I don't think United is coming. I am sure Canadian traffic has a lot to do with it. I am also a guilty party as I fly American or Allegiant into Fargo more than I fly Allegiant into GFK. Quote
