>They did buy the ticket. Legally.

Yes, that ticket is a binding contract for both sides.

If you sign a contract fully aware you don't intend to honor it, you are an asshole.

>Skiplagging is only determined on intentions,

...Yes?

I'm not sure if you're being daft. It is skiplagging to buy something with the intent to not honor the deal, it is not skiplagging if you cannot honor the deal due to factors outside your control.

>You should be more mad about people flying for cheap with credit card points, that literally DOES raise prices for everyone.

The airlines receive compensation from the banks so it's a non-issue.

Not surprised, you wouldn't be able to recognize daft if it were staring at you through the mirror.

> The airlines receive compensation from the banks so it's a non-issue.

Yeah bro the banks give out credit card points out of the kindness of their hearts, it's not like they charge merchants fees to make up for it which then get paid for by everyone in society because some cheap bozos think they're mining free amex points sitting in business class having not actually paid for it.
