why would an airline sell a RT ticket cheaper than a one way ticket? I just purchased 4 RT tickets on an airline and even though I only need one-way tickets (since we are moving) I am saving over $100 per ticket!!! Wouldn't an airline prefer to know in advance that we were really only flying one-way so they wouldn't have empty seats and they could sell those seats to someone else? I know SW airlines lets you buy one way tickets and it doesn't cost more buy why don't other airlines do this? Makes no sense to me!!!
I'm thinking, mind you theory only here, is that when purchasing a round trip ticket they are "assured" the seats are going to be filled. I know some of the smaller ones like Horizon Air and Allegiant air do one way flights. I'm thinking Allegiant only goes to and from Las Vegas, could be wrong.
Very good question! I have thought the same thing and that is why I love to fly Southest! Perhaps somebody who works for the airline industry can answer this question!
