What will be an ideal response?


Revenue management involves setting prices according to predicted demand levels among different market segments. Airlines utilize massive databases on past travel to forecast demand and attempt to allocate optimal capacity to the least price sensitive segments. For example, business travelers pay higher prices for booking flights closer to travel dates, whereas vacationers book in advance. Higher demand travel dates also garner higher prices.
