      <![CDATA[On my trip from Long Beach back to Memphis, we had to fly to Salt Lake City, Utah, then connect to Los Angeles before returning to Memphis. I asked US Air and everyone else if we could just pick up the flight from Los Angeles and of course they said no, unless I wanted to pay an extra fee.

      <![CDATA[The issue with airline travel is the lack of geographic mobility of the consumer base. At the macro level, Delta does not have to risk its Memphis market traveling to Nashville and Little Rock to fly out instead of staying in Memphis to pay the extra $200+ for its flights.

      <![CDATA[38103's revenue management answer is right to a point; it explains the situation until COMPETITION enters the picture. Then competition impacts the revenue management math.<br>
<br>
Simple explanation: Southwest Airline competes with Delta Nashville to Austin – so rates are lower from Nashville-Austin in order to compete.
