Just saw this headline hit my email and thought its worthwhile to share. Airlines have been slowly changing some of the pricing models for seats to charge more and more premiums for the “better” seats in a cabin. For example, there is a premium to sit in the exit row and there are generally premiums charged to sit further up in a typical economy cabin. This article from the Wall Street Journal takes a deeper look into this new behavior of the airlines, and the consequences to passengers. Its an interesting read.

Hasn’t this been the norm for many airlines since a few months ago?
sure seems that way, doesnt it. I think he was trying to point out how its spread through out so many airlines so quickly once they realized that they could and that passengers would pay the premium.
