Eurofurence, here I come!

[giza]

*bounces* I just got my plane tickets for Eurofurence tonight, and then I sent in my registration payment, yay! Now I'm all hyped up about something that's 5 months away. :-) So um, who else is going to EF anyway?

Interestingly enough, it was cheaper for me to get a ticket that returns on the 30th of August instead of the 29th. So this means I get to spend an evening in the town of Dusseldorf. Anyone else going to be in Dusseldorf after the con?

Plane tickets.

Airlines often pull shennanigans like that, for reasons that remain murky to me (maybe for flight schedule optimization). When I went down to Dallas, adding an extra day (Saturday) to the start of the trip instead of just the Sunday of that weekend dropped the price of my ticket by a factor of three.

If any of you lurkers work in the airline industry and can enlighten me, please do :).

Welcome to complex economics. The airlines are constantly trying to solve a very complex optimization problem:

1. The airplane has a fixed number of seats.
2. Maximize profit.

3. Varying demand at certain points in time, which likely explans why prices can really change around at T-minus 7 days to the departure date.
