Domestic airline fares are unaffordable for working-class families and ordinary workers

Working-class families and ordinary wage earners in regions with domestic air travel options find ticket prices prohibitively expensive, making air travel inaccessible for business trips, family visits, and leisure. Current airline pricing models don't account for income disparities, and existing budget alternatives are limited or non-existent in many domestic markets, forcing people to choose between expensive flights or not traveling at all.
