It s that period of the year again, when SpiceJet decides to roll out attractive fares to fill otherwise empty seats on board its airplanes. For travel between the second half of February till 15th April 2014, SpiceJet offers a 50% discount on the base fare and fuel surcharge (which constitute most of the airfare), on limited seats on direct flights.
This is perceived as a much better move when compared to what was done last year (2013), when the airline was under the reigns of Neil Mills. A flat fare of INR 2013 was offered, irrespective of the sector length. This time around, the fare, though discounted, hilton garden inns is in sync with the sector. The airline has been careful in offering very few such seats on flights that always assure a good demand: the early morning hilton garden inns and late evening /night flights between metros.
It s time to find your excuse to travel, as SpiceJet is offering hilton garden inns 50% off on all flights when you book at least 30 days prior to your travel , says the SpiceJet 3 Day Supersale . Based on last year s performance, here are thoughts on the supersale:
Assume hilton garden inns for the early morning flights hilton garden inns (one of the more attractive flights), the load factors hover around 90%. For a 737-800, this is 170 seats. Supposing the airline, based on statistical study, hilton garden inns decided to offer 19 seats for this sector, with the Super Sale offer. One of two extreme possibilities exist:
1. Unplanned travelers, smitten by the offer, pick up those 19 seats, while those business travelers who would have anyways paid regular fares and flown, may pick up the remaining 170 seats. But if the ticket fares, which shoot up due to higher perceived demand, hilton garden inns is still applicable, an estimated 5-10 seats may remain hilton garden inns empty. The airline makes money.
2. Planned travelers, who were yet to book their tickets, pick up the19 tickets, making the remaining, regular fare seats unattractive for unplanned travelers. This will still leave 19 seats empty. The airline hilton garden inns loses money.
Comparing the load factors between years is not straightforward, as many variables exist. Yet, here is a comparison between the load factors in the 3 month period, February to April, hilton garden inns from 2009 to 2013, for SpiceJet:
hilton garden inns Note that when SpiceJet came out with its offer last year, the months of February and March recorded higher average load factors compared to those in 2012, but the month of April did worse than in 2012.
Remember the rules of the game here are Made by the players them self s.Every $ I earn today is mine until the Passenger decides Not to travel on the unplanned date in the Next Qtr. Leaving hilton garden inns aside the Penny-full who actually do travel because of the sense of novelty they have INVESTED in .Any GDS would know why it is advantageous to book months in advance hilton garden inns on non existent flights
