You can literally strand people all over the country for three days during the holidays, and the next day people will log in and say, "hey look it's only $300 to go to CANCUN for the weekend."
The general population has adapted to buying a product and being financially finessed. How many products do you think the average consumer throws out per month because it wasn’t as advertised? At least they get their money back eventually with the airlines if the flight becomes not “as advertised”.
