Well the simple fact is, whatever flight is selling for £30 a few days before the flight, it is not well loaded, or making money in any way, shape or form.
TUI and TCX etc may adopt these tactics, but one thing that is certain is that scheduled operators do not. Their fare structure has loss leader fares first, gently making its way up to some hefty pricing.
