Hi,
Could we have advantage if I have premium Y/C/F seats over the competitors which have only standard seats? Also is it any long enough distance flight where we get penalty if standard seat used for example 10hour flight? So example must be use premium seats over transatlantic flights.
Example we have equal plane over same over 3000NM route and just the seat difference nothing else (just two of us have trip on this site).
My thinking point the ticket price equal but could I get more passengers from the total available - not just 50% - if I have more comfortable seats?
What I afraid of the plane have fixed costs (fuel/landing fee/staff etc.). But If I uses better seats then my seat capacity decreased I think that is means my plane utilization percentage will be higher but the profit in USD equal if same ticket prices and equal number of passengers.
It depends on the flight distance. On short routes it really does not matter enough to be noticeable, but on long / very long routes you might get an advantage.
