Discount Air Carriers And Discount Air Travel Transforming The Air Travel Industry
Why the Discount Carriers are Winning
Over the years, air travel has declined significantly. Bad economic times, acts of terrorism, and the overall high cost of flying have deterred many travelers from flying the friendly skies. Instead, they're opting for local travel that doesn't require flying or selecting other methods of transportation such as driving, taking the train, or going "Greyhound". As a result, the major airlines are making less and less each year, forcing some to close up shop and call it quits.
However, bad economic times and acts of terrorism aren't the only things affecting the major airlines and the air travel industry as a whole. Discount air carriers who offer limited yet discount air travel rates have put a huge dent in the business of the major airlines. These airlines, such as U.S. based Jet Blue and Southwest Airlines, can undercut the major players in the air travel market because of lower overhead and less labor costs. Since the discount air travel carriers are smaller and often only have one type of aircraft (compared to bigger airlines that have full fleets of varying plane types), they have more flexibility with their pricing and can offer discount air travel deals more often then their much larger counterparts. And when combined with the decline in overall air travel, the discount air carriers are winning out over the larger airlines, causing the major players to rethink their game plan and, in many cases, start offering discount air travel through dynamically priced fares.
Using Discount Air Travel and Carriers for Your Benefit
For the most part, discount airlines operate within their country of origin. In other words, many don't offer flights abroad. So if you need to fly domestically for business travel or a family vacation, a discount air carrier is the way to go. However, just because the discount airlines don't offer overseas travel, it doesn't mean you can't get discount air travel deals on international flights. Remember, domestic AND international air travel has dwindled significantly over the years; so, the major airlines are often scrambling to fill overseas flights. As a result, the bigger airlines are starting to offer last minute travel deals and dynamically priced fares to try and fill their flights as much as they can. And since the discount air carriers are taking much of their previous domestic air travel customers, the larger airlines are desperate to make a buck any way they can.
Finding Discount Air Travel Deals
Some airlines offer last minute and discounted travel deals directly to the consumer; however, many work with online travel sites and supply them with bulk-rate deals on plane tickets. Either way, the key to finding discount air travel deals is to search the web and call the airlines. Compare prices and give yourself time to research your discount travel options. You may find that booking last minute will save you a bundle on your flight in some cases, but cost you twice as much in others; so be flexible and don't purchase the first ticket you find. You'll find a better deal on discount air travel if you shop around.
The discount air carriers have caused a significant shift in the air travel industry. There is more competition and less people buying, causing the industry to offer more discounted air travel deals than ever before. As a traveler, this means there are currently more ways to save on your air travel. All you have to do is go out and find those deals.

How can an indirect air carrier pay my full loss?
I used an air carrier to ship a package overseas valued at $1400 . It was reported lost 5 days later. The carrier only wanted to pay me 300 bucks, 'cuz I hadn't purchased their insurace. I said that's not fair, since they had never informed me verbally or in written form about the insurance policy or the indemnity policy in absence of the insurance.They even didn't bother to send me a copy of the airway bill or contract to sign. Do I have any legal ground to claim full compensation for my loss. Does filing complaints to BBB,or the small claim court help? Are there any other options out there to recover my loss? Thanks!!!
It's lawyer time. Talk to your lawyer (if you don't have one call the local bar association) because this is a tricky issue. Also check with your insurance agent to see if you are covered for this loss through your own policies.
Your alternatives are:
1. Take the loss and hope the package turns up.
I know this isn't very appealing, but you must consider it.
2. Get a "lawyer letter" threatening legal action (which you don't intend to take)
This shouldn't be too expensive and may swing things in your favor. It depends on the compensation arrangement between the air carrier and their attorneys. If their lawyers are on their own payroll they will probably be prepared to fight. If they are using an outside law firm on an annual retainer which includes court appearances they will fight. If they are using an outside firm and pay for court appearances they will probably pay you, since that is cheaper than going to court.
3. Sue them court
The big problem with going to court is how much it will cost you to fight the carrier.
So before you decide to fight look at your chances of winning. Unless the court decisions in your state have been in the shipper's favor in similar cases you are probably fighting a losing battle.
If your lawyer says it it will cost more than you can expect to win don't sue.
4. Go to small claims court
I don't know what the limit is and what the rules are for small claims courts in your state. Check it out.
One potential problem with both alternatives 3 and 4 (depending on your state) is that you can wind up with a judgement in your favor and no practical way of collecting.
If it were me I would go the "lawyer letter" route. It shows you are serious, that you have contacted an attorney, that you are prepared to fight and that you feel you have a good chance to win.
Hope this helps
