I just don’t understand the airline industry.
Welp folks, with busy season in full swing it’s time for my annual practice of spending the couple of hours between getting home and sleeping to fantasize about post busy season vacations. Usually this fantasizing starts a little later in the year but this week I was bombarded with emails and texts about my sister’s upcoming graduation, as well as the annual in-law vacation in Vegas and my college roomie’s bachelorette party in North Carolina. So I figured it was time to get to work. Here’s what I found out:
- Flying from New York to San Francisco to Vegas to San Francisco to New York: is approximately 6,000 miles and $400. *I tried out a lot of different options but I like this one the best (Ryan does not)
- Flying from New York to North Carolina and back for the bachelorette party weekend is approximately 1,000 miles and $450.
- Flying from New York to Atlanta to North Carolina to Atlanta to New York is approximately 2,300 miles and $250.
Hmm… airlines you think your ridiculous miles to $$$ ratio is possibly why your industry is always in trouble?
Also, pretty sad that in my couple of free hours today away from accounting I’ve spent it analyzing numbers. (Said in an Ursula voice:) Pathetic.
