Title: Quesition for Sami about SEATS (premium, standard etc)?
Post by: Flightman on February 09, 2009, 11:30:29 PM
1. Does seat confiquration (i mean seats quality) affects what?
And does seat dencity affects "poor, good, exellent etc") affects how?


Or what is the idea for Premium seats = less passengers.


Or is this eaven yet a feature? Standars for all, as good as premium? or?

Need to know, is it worth it to put example million $ extra money for better seats?

Same here. This question is really burning!
"Try it out and see" will not suffice as an answer I´m affraid because of the money and time involved in the process.

So please, what are the effects of the different seating styles on LF, image, ect ? ...if any at all.

Example: airline A flies standard BC seats - airline B flies premium BC seats on a route with heavy competition at the same price.
- Will the pax flock to airline B?
- Are pax willing to pay higher BC ticket prices for airline B even in the light of heavy competition?


Cheers gaffair

Seem to be some effect. Now A300 premium seats in F class and Business class (space exellent) and standard economy seats setted to (space: good) --- i offer totally (~200 pax) feat apponent 300~ (pax) travellers in that airport is ~400 pax ... And im new with route, and have over 60% business from that airport, eaven if i have less seats to offer than my opponent who might flew this route long time before me :)

If that would not affect, my opponent should have much more pax than me .  ?!

Here appears to be all the factors when a passenger decides on flying with you or not:

1.  Price
2.  Your Route Image
3.  Your Company Image
4.  Seat quality on flight

These are in no particular order.

It does, but not much yet (ie. even the daily randomess may be more), needs to be improved later on.
