It's all about choice.
To be perfectly fair, a fare difference of £140 per person would make me think. But usually neither my partner or I have the luxury of just saying we'll go a day early, which is why I have become very adept/expert/weary of looking at prices across airlines for a single day out and a single day back.
My guess is that this reflects the purchasing needs of a substantial part of the market, which is why fare comparisons that look at an entire week at a time are not very realistic. Nor are fare comparisons that compare airlines one day at a time, but then only look at flexible business fares which are not what this part of the leisure market is after.
