That's half a year's salary for a LOT of people, damn right it's expensive
Not a lot. Several percent, maybe.
EDIT: not a lot of people is what I meant. Most earn much, much less.
I actually can't tell if you're being serious or not...
Are you..?
Average salary in my city is ~$60k. $20k for a flight is ludicrous.
For the people / businesses who book these flights.
Yeah, but the conversation is about people being bale to afford it at all? Of course people who can afford it... Can afford it? That number is under 1% of the population, so it really shouldn't be a thing.
