This is for my marketing class - answers from people who work in the travel industry would be especially helpful!
Many Americans use round-trip, one-day air travel for business purposes. Prices for these and many other flights vary dramatically, depending on the city of departure.
For example, if the departure city is a hub of a major airline, consumers can expect to pay more than they would from a nearby city. In October 2006, a day trip on Delta Airlines from Cincinatti (a Delta hub) to Washington D.C. and back cost $1,038.60. A flight to Washington D.C. from Columbus, Ohio, two hours northeast of Cincinatti, cost $274.71. This is $763.89, or 78 percent less.
***The question is: What is the reason for this cost difference?
