#2Don't forget about taxes and fees. When you look at the price of a domestic (US) ticket, it's surprising how much of this is taxes and fees that the airline is passing through and not directly profit.

Seems fuel taxes are next to nothing? Not sure how to read this...

#6So, take a single data point (price for an economy seat 6 months in advance), add on a hundred different assumptions with zero backing data (% capacity filled? Different seat classes? Fluctuation in ticket prices? Connecting routes?), and present it as some deep analysis.

#7> I like to board last. I’ve never understood the appeal of being on the plane any longer than I need too (I’m yet to travel in business class).
I don't understand that opening at all. We all want to get on so we get space in the overhead bins, don't we? Maybe he just never has a bag, but the reason should be obvious regardless.

I'm the same. I stand around until the last minute. We're all getting there at the same time, and I'd rather be standing because soon I have to sit for hours. My bag fits nicely under the seat in front of me.

For most short haul flights yes. For international with newer 787 or A380 equipment the bin space seems adequate for everyone.
