Hi All
First of all, please point me in the direction of any previous threads on this topic, as im sure it is one that has been discussed before.
There are a lot of factors that affect pricing, and there are likely to be interesting flight prices based on connections, routes, times etc etc. But when booking, to save myself angst and search time, I have a developed a general rule that if a medium haul flight costs $100 per hour, that it is a good value flight. For short hauls (eg domestic exl PER), I would go up to $120 an hour, long hauls (eg one stoppers like LAX, JNB, SCL) I would adust this down to around $80, and ultra long hauls (eg LHR, JFK), $60. NB these are the economy rates. I am not a person who books/pays for W, J or F on a regular basis to have thought about thresholds for these flights!! This is also for airlines worldwide, not just Aus flights.
Does anyeone else have these thresholds in mind when they book and if so, what are they (if you want to share)?
Also, does anyone have these sort of thresholds for ASA and Classic seats?
