So, what is to stop the charter company also owning/operating a travel agency, who then charters the aircraft... every day, at the same time, to go to the same place, for the same price, and charge joe public a fixed price ?
Surely the "charter company " is then operating a charter for the travel agency?
the travel agency is selling seats on a plane that IT has chartered?
Joe Public has no idea what the differnce is..... although, I believe that giving out BOARDING PASSES is legal, but not TICKETS!!!
Mind you, when was the last time anyone actually had a paper ticket in his/her hand from a (real) airline anyway ?
NB: REAL airline!!!!!
