rmcdonal, there is a fair bit of competition on the PER-KTA route with VA, QF and Alliance all operating the sectors.
Alliance are generally $199 but you will never get a seat at that price due do to most of the aircraft being booked by Citic Pacific and selling what few seats are left to the general public.
Fatguyinalittlecoat I'm just asking GT to answer my question as he appears to blame the regional airports and short sectors on the high prices. I would like him to have look over east.
As rmcdonal has stated "Are you getting screwed, probably, can you do anything about it, probably not."
This unfortunately for the people living in these towns is the truth, and won't change. $689 red e deal on a 30 year old F100 with no IFE and muffin. Same day same same time on the east coast 737-800 IFE and hot meal $189......screwed. People of the NW would just like some fair treatment on prices, don't care about IFE and catering, just bring the prices down.
