Airlines were a hard sell in the start, mainly due to other modes of transportation such as the train, car, and boat. However, that started to change, as most airlines offered travel additional flexibility with geographical area and time. In order to sell that flexibility and time, airlines have to sell their product, travel from one area to another area, with that comes marketing. Airlines have been utilizing the market strategy for many years during regulation and more than ever after deregulation
The strategic merge between Delta Airlines and Northwest due to the fact that they tried to merge too quickly with no backup plan. The merge also failed due to the fact that they did not do significant research to see how well their companies would work together.

shopping for airline tickets, people tend to look for the cheapest price available. They would rather pay a low price, and sacrifice cleanliness and/or customer service. I however, always look for all three aspects while shopping for tickets such as prices, cleanliness, and customer service.
