True. We all have different preferences. Some are not as bothered by spam as others. But where do you draw the line about marketing for a single trip? 20? 185? Two million?
but not talking about spam & all airlines especially high cost Qantas are finding it very difficult to sell to leisure travellers.
Am sure all airline marketing people work off the theory/fact that the more emails you send the more response/sales you get & there's no such thing as too many. Realistically, I don't even want to receive more than 1 email a week from an airline, UNLESS they have some insane sales, eg. $600 to USA return to $800 to EU/UK return. Catch is these types of sales are common places this days & will get more & more prevalent.
Business class fares for leisure travellers, not for business types who make short trips. are plummeting as more & more try to upgrade from a lower class.
The last thing any airline wants, is to give a business traveller, who often doesn't pay for their flights themselves, cheaper tickets, so guess will see more companion type fares.
Just this am, got email from air nz, saying fares to Queenstown NZ are cheaper the more in your group (in the one booking), although it can be almost impossible to get a group of people to pay up, in less than 48 hours. (most air NZ sales last exactly 48 hours, which is realistically 1 day from time people see it, until they have time to tell others & react. Not sure why their sales are for such short periods. Have organised many groups over the years & some people can't make fast decisions & some can't make a decision at all in a short period ie. 24 hours.
