No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

Why is airline pricing so complicated and why do airline fares change so often? This talk explains the theory and practice of airline pricing and revenue management -- how airlines determine prices and how many seats to sell at each price. The links between these models and internet distribution channels provide insights into the search for the best fares and itineraries.
