One guy I know goes to see his wife twice a month for a couple of days till they can both retire in the same city. He brings nothing on board and no bags at all since he has a second set of everything at their apartment.
I wonder if that’s the case with a lot of ULCC frequent fliers and if they don’t provide lower ancillary revenue than less frequent fliers that pick which extras they want and first timers that may not be familiar with the fee structure.

That’s how the company makes money, fly during peak times and not when there’s less demand. People will fly other airlines when Breeze isn’t that day, but it’s not like they’re never coming back. Unless they’re aviation nerds, nobody wants to go through a hub.
