The view you see once your journey begins is a concrete reflection of the airlines’ seat classification strategy. You are in economy class While trying to sit tight; The other side of the cabin moves with feet extended.

Yes, they pay extra for exactly this comfort, but why is it that the few seats at the front of the plane are not enough? More money than hundreds on the back Does it make money?

Economy class passengers may fill the plane, but the real money is in the premium cabins.

Let’s explain with an example: Turkish Airlines’ 777 aircraft Istanbul to Cyprus you want to go. The average price of an economy class ticket for this flight is 2,000 TL. If all economy seats are occupied, THY will leave this section He earns 244,000 TL.

The interesting thing is the business part despite only 40 seats At 7,410 TL per person, this makes a total of 296,400 TL. So we can understand that the real money here is in the special classification.

But high prices like in this example are not always valid.

If you bought your ticket in another city If you join this flight by transferring prices drop. But the bulk of the airline’s revenue still comes from a small number of premium passengers.

The history of commercial aviation has always been a class issue. In the beginning, flying was so expensive that everyone such as first class treatment he saw.

Over time, airlines need to carry more people. tried to reduce costs and thus different classes arose. The bottom line is that airlines sell the same product at different prices by embellishing it with experiences.

The first classification of air travel began with mail transportation, and more classes were added over time.

Projects such as the Boeing 747 that took flight in 1969 and the Concorde, Ability for airlines to create luxury classes gave. However, due to deregulation, airlines started to set their own prices completely, which led to different prices difference between classes made it even clearer.

Nowadays, the experience gap between first class and business class is closing and many airlines are taking advantage of it Abolish first class and replace it with business class He adds the chair. The reason for this is that it is virtually impossible to completely fill an airplane with premium passengers.
