I've been following the price of an Alaska flight for a while that is a code share with American.
The 2:50PM t0 10:08PM HNL-OAK non-stop AA flight is priced at $432 while the same flight on AS metal is priced at $577.
I assume that AA gives AS a cut of the revenue for every ticket sold through AA. In this case what "benefit" does AS get when codesharing with AA when the AA price is ~$145 less than the AS price? Is AS considered a more 'premium' airline whose users will pay more, while AA is marketed to a lower end?
Also, what benefit does AS get pricing their flight at that price point when there is a non-stop flight on HA that is $195 cheaper that flies at almost the exact same time?
Maybe AS just knows that I have a $400 voucher that expires at the end of the year and is screwing with me.
