Airlines Play Hide and Seek with Their Airfares. Is It Fair?
http://www.airfarewatchdog.com/blog/32195794/airlines-play-hide-and-seek-with-their-airfares-is-it-fair/%20/?source=45568&nltv=143280_b&nl_cs=32270643%3A%3A%3A%3A%3A%3A143280_b
Many consumers aren’t aware that when they search for a low airfare with an online travel agency (OTA) such as Travelocity or a popular search app such as Hopper, Kayak or Farecompare, they may not be seeing the lowest possible airfares.
In fact, if they use these sites to buy airfare from or to an airport such as Atlanta, where Delta commands over 80% of the market, or Kansas City, where Southwest controls 50% of traffic, it’s almost certain many of them will pay more than they should.
But don’t blame the aforementioned websites and apps. If anyone is to “blame” it’s the airlines themselves.
Delta and Southwest, which together control about 35% of U.S. domestic seats, are the main culprits here. Southwest one would expect. The airline has never displayed its airfares anywhere other than Southwest.com, except for a brief period on Travelocity.com and via the Easy Sabre search app, a consumer product in existence from 1986 to 1999.
But Delta is a relative newcomer to the airfare hide and seek game. The Atlanta-based carrier now withholds its airfare data from popular apps and sites including Farecompare, Hipmunk and Hopper among other lesser known ones (American in the past has withheld its fare data, for various reasons, from OTAs such as Orbitz.com).
So many consumers are not getting the full airfare picture and it has become much harder to compare prices; many are overpaying for flights, or simply cannot afford to fly unless they know where and how to search. It’s impossible to calculate the cost to airfare buyers but it’s probably costs them billions over the years.
Consider: One day I was searching for a flight between Austin and Newark; on Southwest.com the dates and flight times I decided on would cost $216 round-trip, while the least expensive comparable itinerary (same dates and flight times) on United found via Google Flights, which doesn’t include Southwest, was $763 round-trip.
Should airfare availability be regulated?
The U.S. D.O.T. is looking into the issue of airlines withholding prices from third party websites and apps, but should the airlines be singled out here?
As Vaughn Jennings, spokesman for Airlines for America, the lobbying group for U.S. airlines, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune’s Kristen Leigh Painter in January, “We continue to believe that airlines, like all other private businesses, have the right to sell their product where and how they choose.”
Sad to say, there are precedents. Some hit songs are only available on iTunes—or not on iTunes (think back to the many years that the Beatles’ catalog was withheld from Apple’s music service). Fashion designers such as Marc Anthony can negotiate exclusive marketing deals with retailers such as Kohls, and Martha Stewart can decide to sell her products exclusively at Kmart.
It's a bit of a false equivalence though. No consumers are overpaying because of these other marketing agreements and show me the shopper who cares that, or who has suffered a financial hardship because, she cannot buy a Louis Vuitton handbag at Target.
Even so, many consumers understandably assume that when they go to an airfare comparison website or app they will compare all airlines.
The real worry is that this spreads like a contagion, Delta restricts larger sites like Priceline and Expedia from showing its fares, and then United and American follow. The airline industry is nothing if not a monkey-see, monkey-do industry (one adds a checked bag fee, they all do). Imagine if all airlines restrict airfare distribution: it would be a disaster for consumers. And then watch the hotel and car rental industries attempt the same thing.
Will we see government regulation? With new leadership in Washington we'll probably see fewer not more fetters placed on businesses. So it's consumer beware and be wise, unless the new President sees this for the consumer issue that it really is. Who knows, maybe he’ll tweet that the airlines need to stop making it harder for consumers to find the lowest airfares.

Take A Walk On The Wild Side In Foodie Mexico
One of my favorite things about being an expat is all the opportunities I have to try new and different foods wherever I go. So on a recent visit to Mexico City I went to my favorite restaurant and tested my limits.
On the plate in front of me, surrounded by dots of pureed chili, was a small herd of toasted, black beetles. They were dinner.
Well, actually they were the appetizer, and I only ordered a half-portion (because hey, beetles). To my surprise, the toasty critters, called cocopaches, have a crunchy, nutty flavor that is surprisingly pleasant. I ate two, on the theory that any chicken-hearted foodie can manage one.
It’s not the first time I’ve tried insects in Mexico. Chapulines, a type of small grasshopper, is a popular dish in Oaxaca, and I’ve eaten those, too (they’re mostly salt and crunch). Chapulines are also frequently ground up and mixed with chili to serve beside mescal and tequila. So if you’ve ever tried these drinks with chili on the side, you may have tried chapulines, too. I’ve never tried ant eggs—the third food rarity I know of in Mexico—but I figure they’ll be easy.
After all, I’m happy to pound down high-quality caviar whenever I can get it, and they’re just fish eggs.
Don’t get the idea that all down-home Mexican food has this “eek” factor, though. Plenty of Mexicans recoil at the thought of eating bugs. And they stick with the tried-and-true favorites like tacos, enchiladas, and tamales that we’re all familiar with. So rest easy.
But if you do want a walk on the culinary wild side, you definitely can in Mexico.
Pre-Hispanic dishes like cocopaches and chapulines…appropriately sanitized, of course…are all the rage in Mexico’s high-end gourmet restaurants. As a result, there’s a whole business chain to supply the critters to consumers. My beetles, for instance, were farm-raised in a village in Puebla state. (As a friend on Facebook wrote after I posted a photo of my beetle, “Farm-raised beetles? Who knew they were a thing?” Precisely.)
Come to think of it, they could be a business opportunity…I can imagine some bug-loving expat setting up business in Puebla or Oaxaca (both are beautiful colonial cities with temperate climates) and making a fortune raising food-grade bugs. You don’t need much space, either: I bet you can almost raise them in a shoebox.
For me, I’m happy to challenge my culinary limits by tasting them now and again.
Most expats embrace a more traditional challenge, like learning a new language or settling into a new culture, when they move abroad. And that’s great. For keeping you mentally agile, these are better than Sudoku any day, in my book. Plus, in countries like Mexico, you get the additional perk of a lower cost of living (expats report living well for as little as $1,200 a month).
But if eating strange foods is how you want to push your own personal limits, then just let me know. I have plenty of tips.
