Revenue maximization for hotels and airlines is so fascinating to me, because clearly there's a really transactional way to approach this and a strong desire to remain a traveler's go-to choice for their next 1,000 nights.

"Ripping their eyeballs out" is a term of art on Wall Street, because "aggressively transactional price optimization" lacked a certain je ne sais quoi.

I worked in pricing for a large UK hotel chain and there were a few cool tricks we did such as taking into account the lower bed change cost of multi night stays, and the displacement effect of multi night stays on the higher rate one or two night business travellers.

There is a displacement effect in regions where there is over 100% demand i.e London so you can pick your customers based to solve for highest revenue.
