Flying Anytime soon? I think not.
Are you airline savvy? I’d like to say I am. Traveling a lot is a huge part of my monthly life being that I live in two places. Going to school in California and having my family and what I’m used to in Pennsylvania gets a little tricky to manage. Monthly, I travel back and forth across country to fulfill my needs of every day life. This time around, planning my summer tickets to go home is extremely expensive. Since Delta and Northwest airlines merged(NY Times), there have been loss of flights and prices went up.
Dan Schlossberg, from consumeraffairs.com says,”At the rate airline mergers and acquisitions are going, the consolidation of carriers is virtually certain to reduce competition and raise prices.” Flights are important to me as well as anyone else but especially people involved in the fashion industry.
Since traveling is a huge chunk of what they do for their jobs, many rely on certain airlines they feel they can depend on. With airlines merging, flights are restricted. There is less competition and are less available times to fly which means some have to find other ways of transportation. Consumers now have less leverage, prices are sky rocketing as we blink our eyes and booking flights is a disaster.
