To elaborate: I have enough spend for 1k, but I’m not even close to Platinum in PQM yet
Because that just means you are buying a few expensive tickets as opposed to buying many tickets. Thus the level of loyalty is lower than if you bought more of lesser value.
Airlines are great at price discrimination so they are getting decent returns at every type of fare. They care more about you buying more of normal priced tickets, than a couple of more expensive tickets. They definitely don’t want you to buy many underpriced tickets, hence why they’ve all introduced the dollar spend requirement.
Depends on what the profit they can get on each of those. You’re example indicates that the second customer pays 30% less for flights that are twice as long. Not sure if this is a true example or not since I’ve never flown those exact routes, but if it is, it may be that the planes are larger and they can fit more people on the cheaper seats. Not sure what the expected profit would be.
What I know is that Airlines have become masters at maximizing profits at every seat. What the additional profits are per seat? Idk. To give you an honest opinion I’d Have to look at their models which are more complicated than I’d probably understand, BUT that is the logic of why. Whether accurate? Idk.
The spend component was added to weed out people doing dirt cheap mileage runs.
This is where you need to get crazy and earn status on segments.
