As someone who flies a lot on his own dime, inscrutable airline pricing ends up being good.

It means I can always get a seat, I just have to pay more. It means businesses subsidize mine and everyone else’s flights.

When I’m travelling the world and have to use a train system with fixed prices, I don’t like that I have to book many days in advance or else the tickets are sold out. Just raise the price! Let the rich pay double so it’s cheaper for everyone else, and anyone who _really needs_ to use the service can weigh the costs and decide to pay more.

You mean everyone who really needs the service will never get it because the rich will always pay more?

Must be nice to always have the money to pay more to get service immediately, but I don't think that's something we should strive for.
