Airport staff share spicy stories and details from their job

Trying to land a plane at a busy airport at a popular time costs a lot of money. Have you ever booked a flight and noticed that the price for the same flight on the same day, but at different times, can vary in price?

The ‘landing slot’ market

That’s because airlines have to bid against each other for their landing slots in the airport’s schedule. The more popular the time, the more airlines want it, and therefore, the more expensive it becomes. That’s partially why peak time flights are more expensive.
