More Ridiculous Us Fares

[LongIsland2004]

ISP-ALB $ 419.20 R/T on a Beech1900 prop / no bathroom or flight attendant.

Look for SWA to maybe get into this Market with $100 max R/T walk-up fares when there new ISP Terminal is finished in late spring 2004.

For tomorrow (March 8, 2004)

ISP-BWI

US: $652.00 prop plane and connection
WN: $ 160.00 Jet plane and non-stop.

US still clueless as can be at ISP.

I don't think that clueless is the proper term. It is apparent that US does not want to compete in the ISP-BWI or some other non-stop WN markets. It appears that they are trying to make their money on customers traveling on routes that are not as competitive. Are the USX flights full? If yes, then the company is maximizing yield.

Fare rationalization for many markets should be here sooner rather than later. In the meantime, at least the company is trying to increase revenue. And you have the option of flying another carrier.
