Ticket Pricing

Overview

Ticket pricing in MyFly Club is influenced by multiple factors, not just distance. Understanding how pricing works allows you to balance load factor, profitability, and passenger satisfaction.

Ticket prices are affected by:

  • Route distance
  • Cabin class
  • Domestic vs international status
  • Airport income level
  • Passenger type

Distance-Based Pricing

Longer routes naturally support higher ticket prices. However, the increase is not linear. Short routes are more price-sensitive, while longer routes allow greater pricing flexibility.

Short-haul routes:

  • Require competitive pricing
  • Have lower revenue per seat
  • Depend heavily on frequency

Long-haul routes:

  • Support higher fares
  • Benefit premium cabins
  • Generate more revenue per passenger

Cabin Classes

Each cabin class has a different pricing level:

  • Discount Economy – lowest fares, highest price sensitivity
  • Economy – balanced pricing and demand
  • Business – premium pricing, moderate sensitivity
  • First – highest fares, lowest price sensitivity

Premium cabins generate higher revenue but require strong demand to fill seats.

Domestic vs International

International flights typically support higher pricing due to:

  • Longer travel distances
  • Reduced competition
  • Higher passenger willingness to pay

Domestic routes usually require:

  • Competitive pricing
  • Higher frequency
  • Strong demand volume

Airport Income Effect

Airports with higher income levels support higher ticket prices. Routes originating from wealthy cities can charge more without reducing demand.

High-income airport strategies:

  • Offer premium cabins
  • Increase service quality
  • Focus on business traffic

Lower-income airport strategies:

  • Keep pricing competitive
  • Emphasize economy seating
  • Use smaller aircraft

Passenger Type Influence

Different passenger types react differently to price changes:

  • Tourists are highly price-sensitive
  • Business passengers tolerate higher fares
  • Elite passengers prefer premium service over price

Strategy Tips

  • Lower prices to increase load factor
  • Raise prices carefully to maximize revenue
  • Match pricing to passenger type
  • Avoid overpricing low-demand routes
