Problem
Airlines are considering 'dynamic pricing', meaning they charge you more for tickets based on your income and lifestyle, rather than whether they want to fill the plane.

Answer
Plane seating is already divided into Economy, Business and First class.

People in business have budgets. That's how they stay in business and don't go bust.

Ryan Air runs a business which charges you less.

If you go to India on business and the Indian company is paying your fare, they book the ticket and hotel because otherwise you are charged more as a foreigner and the locals would end up footing a bigger bill.

If you are given a rise at work, you think you have more money. Then prices double and tax doubles so you are gaining nothing.

If you are rich, it will end up being cheaper to buy your own plane.
