    Passengers are increasingly willing to pay more for premium economy seats on long airplane trips that come with a host of other perkshttps://nyti.ms/2zU0seD

        First, convince people that free tap water is bad for them, then sell them bottled water. First, make airline seats so small that it's unbearable to sit in them for any longer flight and stop serving a meal, then make them pay more for a reasonably sized seat and sell them food.

        If I had the money to start an airline the motto would be, "first class comfort, coach class price."

        Don't sugar coat it.... The extra perks is what you had a decade or so ago before they took it away to make you suffer because they knew people would eventually pay more to have that extra inch back LOL

        The airlines lowered the bar for so long, that now people will pay for things that should be free. Like comfort. People will also put up with TSA throwing out their items and treating them like 💩. When people need airlines, the airlines become greedy, douche bag, grifters.

        It’s like when they used to sell cars stripped and made you pay for the heater, the radio, the engine and charged for unnecessary things like undercoating. I hear there is an airline that sells standing room as their base price and charges to sit down.

        They don't come with any perqs except more leg room. Not so much as an extra packet of pretzels.

        Passengers are not willing, these money are extorted from them by greedy Air Carriers who make seats inhumanely small with no room to move to have any kind of normal blood flowing through one's body.

        "You have options .... willing to pay more" Hahahaha as if paying more is just an option for everyone. Why didn't think I think about just paying more for everything before now?!?!? I could have been just PAYING MORE this whole time? Oh wait no, I don't have more money.
