    Do you not understand that the supply (number of planes) is constant throughout the year, while the demand (number of fliers) fluctuates? If the supply enough planes for everyone to fly at peak times there’s going to be tooons of empty seats throughout the rest of the year. They’d then need to raise everyone’s ticket prices to pay for those extra empty planes, and people just aren’t willing to pay the extra price for the convenience.

      Please explain to us why they are selling so many more seats than they have available.

        Because often people don’t show up. If an airline only sold the exact number of seats on ever plane, their tickets would be more expensive, and people wouldn’t buy them.
