Similarly, Neeleman investigated meal service and found that customers would be satisfied with light snacks and sodas in lieu of lunch and dinner entrees.

They serve no meals, do not offer seat assignments, and do not baggage to other airlines. They avoid airports with high landing fees or frequent delay.

Small business customers and leisure travelers were the ones benefited the most from American’s new fare structure. Previously, small business customers who does not have the power and volume to negotiate with airline companies for discounted deals had to pay higher rates for first-class or coach tickets. American’s new cost structure reduced the full coach fares which allowed small business customers to purchase flight tickets at cheaper prices more conveniently.

These are knows as “comfort seekers” and they can include business magnates, federal politicians, sporting stars and a-list celebrities. The First Class market is highly concentrated; less than 3% of passengers will choose to fly First Class but those customers make up close to 30% in revenue for the airline (Keen and Strand 2007). Because the focus is on service and

Leisure travelers overall will be made better off by the new fare structure. These travelers have more flexibility and can take advantage of the advance purchase discounts and Saturday-night stay discounts. An exception to this is leisure travelers who had found “loop holes” in the old fare system by using “creative ticketing” and waiting for deep discounts. These leisure travelers may pay higher rates because the deep discounts will no longer be offered.

This eliminated the agents highlighted in yellow from receiving tickets. I have shared this information with the Billing managers and they decided to give tickets to the billing agents that did not receive bonus tickets but met the department goal for their bonus tickets which was 90% for adherence.

Most successful low-cost carriers try to offer a modicum of additional benefits, such as better on-time performance or more legroom. AirTran Airways has been very successful with its low-fare Business Class, while Frontier and JetBlue offer live in-flight television. US Airways offers a first class product, and a very extensive route network including international destinations.

Spirit Airlines business strategy is that they do not believe customers should have to pay for amenities unless they are absolutely going to utilize them and the services they chose shouldn’t subsidize other passengers. Spirit believes, they can offer a cheap flight with no amenities and each added amenity will be a cost.
