Q1 It is not just airl;ines; every commercial organisation makes money thus; and they need not tell you about it as there are violations of contract. How about Reliance and Jio and airtel in all commodities?. Malls selling fabrics. There is a shop all over India called FABINDIA; have you seen those fabrics but high pedestal throngs to pay more for a II hand saree and robes under the fashion design. You pay more in a mall than a chettiar shop in the road side corner; so all roadside shops have become malls. TTD darshan of Rs 500 ticket has become 10500 per ticket with forced donation of 10000. Even with 10000 payee that want one more 500 the old ticket charge also. So marketing is more of a trend in MBA than finance. And Readers' digest write about what they don't tell you. KR IRS 171222
