A 33% increase is a pretty massive difference lmao and when its most popular destinations are jammed airports everyone else flies to for marginally more money spirit just doesn’t have much of an advantage.
One thing people on Reddit also don’t realize is that the average American is not giving up luxury for affordability. This just isn’t Europe whether it’s because they can afford it or because they put it in a credit card or they save less I don’t know and I don’t care but we see it in cars, we see it in phones, we see it in airlines, we see it in hotels, we see it in homes - Americans will spend more money rather than give up amenities and downsize.
