$30 AA one way fares to some cities
 

Just saw with my own eyes some one way fares of $30 via some perusing on the mobile app.

Hopefully this is the minority, not the majority, of the fares the folks being counted on TSA travel numbers are paying

These fares existed before Covid. Especially to Atlanta and any route we compete with Spirit

I would argue that $30 is better than an empty seat.

$16 for some routes.
Don't get excited when you see full planes. It's easy to fill up a plane with pax. It's harder to make money from them.

How full is first class or premium economy these days?

first class is usually full........of dead headers haha

its complete BS when you can buy a ticket that is cheaper than the D3 charges.

Some of us furloughed Compass and TSA folks want to travel too. Lost our jobs and our flight bennies.

Then tell your D3 to buy a ticket? Seems like a better deal with less headache. In fact I did that for my brother in law last month.

I am not sure how widespread these prices are, but it’s nothing new. These prices have been available since Group 9 boarding started. I remember doing a BOI-PHX flight a couple of years ago. Almost all our passengers were group 9. I looked a last minute group 9 fare as we were boarding and it was $30.00. As others have said, this is a direct result of competition with ULCC (Spirit, etc) and ultra competitor markets. I’ve seen $50.00 from ORD to MCO long before COVID.
