They're not going to be able to charge for premiums.

So they need to be able to charge for other things in order to compete because costs are going up.

But people are really weird on the budget side with the airfare.

They're not paying this premium for Southwest.

So they had to figure out a way to kind of get some revenue without being able to charge the premiums like Delta and United.

Yeah.

I mean, it's a reminder.

We're living in the platinum age of travel.

It's like all about loyalty.

Loyalty is what these airlines make more money.

The big airlines make more money selling miles to credit cards than they do flying airplanes.

I want everyone to let that sink in.

The airlines make more money from their loyalty programs.

So what airlines are doing the worst in the US right now?

Spirit had a horrible loyalty program, did not focus on premium, terrible brand.

And in the end,

You know, this game is not, it's expensive to fly into LaGuardia, increasing costs, increasing jet fuel.

So during a crisis, all of these airlines have leaned on their loyalty program to survive.

During the pandemic, Hilton, you know, even the credit card airlines all sold billions of dollars of future miles to live.

So the story is you've got to get in on the loyalty game.
