Memphis Airfares Highest In Nation
What happens when there isn't any competition for fares... (www.commercialappeal.com) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The averaging makes this story actually less of a big deal than it really is. Living in another one of the cited cities (Houston), the problem isn't the $450 fares, but rather then $1400 fares to any major market (e.g., NYC, DC, Chicago, San Francisco, etc) if you don't want to stay 3 nights or over a Friday/Saturday night.
It is so true. I was flying fairly frequently from LAX to MEM on Delta as that is the only airlines that flies non stop direct. I check costs daily and prices have jumped approx. $150.00 for same flight in the last month. Cheaper to go to Little Rock, which stops at Memphis first., Huh! I like the Memphis Airport, they have the best music, & a good shoe shine (to boot). Help.
Well, one thing pricing is based on are the Airport fees for pax that originate or depane there, which is one reason LIT is cheaper, but they are getting greedy to as FSM starts winding down.
But, as an added note, since the NWA merger and DAL is becoming dominant in there, you may see more of it as markets and Airlines consolidate and cut service.
Another great list that we Memphians are on top of lol. I drive to LIT or BNA if I have to travel.
Lax to BNA non-stop direct is cheapish. Currently LAX - MEM is $475, with a advanced reservation of 30 days to 120 days. LAX - BNA is approx. $285 - though varies.
