Likewise, during the dates when people travel less, airlines have to lower the rates to attract passengers.
Airlines also capitalize on inventory to keep the bookings flowing. Usually, you would notice that plane seats are divided into segments. These segments have different seat prices. And when airlines advertise these seats, they advertise the cheapest seat price. Airlines also set aside a handful of discount tickets to offer for travelers who want to take advantage.

So you don’t have to wonder why airlines often have surprisingly low travel tickets. But all these go back to the demand.
