RE: bonus miles case

by Kirstein on 01 Feb. 2010 19:55 Oh my, I still have to write the paper on that case >sigh< Anyway, here‘s my answer: The only thing I had in mind was the additional ticket price that airline A charges, in excess to the price asked by airline B, if A offers a bonus program while B doesn‘t. This might be justified by the fact that many firms (just as public sevice) impose some limitation on their employees‘ trips (business instead of first class; in public service it would rather be the wood bench in the strage room). In any case your question proposes a nice amendment to the original model (thanks for that): The problem might become more complex in the absence of such regulations, if the employee can even book a higher class (or a longer flight?) in order to obtain more bonus miles. However, my hunch is that such an amendment is not overly realistic. All the best RK Web search, Forum search for bonus miles case
