Still have to sell 70-80 seats to make up for cost of the plane + labor + marketing cost + food + make a profit

Thats the main point of the flight ,the schedule!

Totally agree. I mentioned it because everyone was giving reasons not to buy this flight. I'm not buying revenue J seats but even for my family I bought my husband's Pesach ticket for double the price of me and the kids' tickets and paid to be first in line for a space-A upgrade (United refunds this if you don't get upgraded) so he could work an additional three days and fly at the best possible time on Sunday, and hopefully still be rested for the Seder.

+1

I see no way how they could fill up a plane like this last minute to break even.

Maybe they don't need to fill it just what ever they got

I saw the empty leg on sale via a broker for 50k. So they are getting quite a good deal on it

The empty leg is what they took for $50k, or $50k is the outbound leg positioning their plane?

If the latter, then they might have paid much more than $50k and the empty leg is just bonus money for AirX.

If they break even or make a couple of bucks on this, and it increases sales on the Pesach flight, that can help keep the lights on.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

They are back and accepting points (not at a good rate)
Fly motzi Shabbos 11PM JFK-LONDON one way for $999.
(or 100k chase or amex points :-\)

so they sell the points they get? Or they have a legit way of accepting the points as payment?

Most heimishe businesses will never take a loss, even if it's to save their reputation.
