Also from the carriers point of view, the number of Seat Only fares sold on charters is very small. The whole reason the flights operate is because one or more tour operators are selling the seats with holidays. To be able to sell the extra 10 seats you have on a certain flight to TFS really is no big deal. When most of the MyTravel Holidays customers will have been sold their inflight meals for anything between £10-15 EACH (many of them not fully realising this until they receive their Final Confirmation Invoice) the Charter carriers are not exactly LoCo in their cost base. If they are so good at it why are they reinventing themselves at HLX.com, Condor, Thomsonfly and MyTravellite?
