Code Sharing
On a recent trip I noticed that the Flight Information Displays in major airports are overflowing with multiple entries for the same flight, ie codeshares, where one airline pretends to be another.
This must be confusing for pax thinking they are flying on one carrier, but at the airport discovering they are on another.
It is annoying to see the same flight repeated many times, and wasteful of the flight information systems.
I can understand that airlines want to extend their ticketing reach, but why does it have to be done in such a clumsy way?
