To be fair you’re not a frequent flyer or even really valuable to the airlines. They’re not making money on you - they’re making it on the business people flying BOS -> LAX round trip in first class 30-40 times a year.

That is fair! I guess there must be some stickiness although I kinda get the feeling that some of that stickiness was from when it was more complicated to find times and book?

What is the discount for those flyers still - one free round trip for every ten flights? That 10% is still pretty small difference compared to how much you/the company would save switching airlines or skimping $15 a day on per diem.
