The Impact of the Internet on Air Travel
🖥 The Impact of the Internet on Air Travel.
The rise of online ticket booking revolutionized the way people purchase flights, offering transparency and convenience. However, the ease and transparency of online ticket buying have also led to some unintended consequences in the air travel industry. The emphasis on low ticket prices has resulted in airlines prioritizing cost-cutting measures over passenger comfort and on-time performance. This has led to cramped seating, increased flight delays, and the introduction of hidden fees for services that were previously included. While consumers benefit from competitive pricing, they may face trade-offs in terms of comfort and service quality. As the industry evolves, finding the right balance between price competition and passenger satisfaction will be crucial for airlines' success.
