RE:Airlines : slight changes to premium products Surprise, surprise. No, not a surprise at all. This has been discussed extensively on Stocktwits board. Air Canada with its leading edge Aeroplan for US and Canada clients is working this trend and investing deeply in this. It's not a short term thing. The days of bus travel by air are over. Experience driven, well heeled clients want premium spaces, especially for long haul flights. There will be fewer base economy seats in the future.. Or maybe on Son of Lynx.

Airlines have been grappling with high demand for first class and other premium seats as more customers rack up points with credit cards and appear willing to shell out for more space on board.
American said on Monday that it expects about 80% of its revenue this year to come from “premium content,” meaning products beyond the cheapest tickets, and its loyalty program, up from a 70% share in 2017.
