Odeon v Ryanair

[scooterscot]

I bought 2 tickets for the odeon tonight costing £16:50

Just before hand I bought a return flight to Bournemouth from Edinburgh costing £2 flights + £28 in taxes = £30

I so would have failed economics at school if I'd taken it...

You went to Boremouth to go to the cinema? Was there nothing on in Edinburgh?

You got a return to Bournemouth?

I thought that people only went there to retire. One-way only is required.

10 years ago yes. these days it seems to be quite a party venue. I read it somewhere - obviously I am far too old for partying.

It's all connected with supply and demand

There are plenty of empty seats flying out of Edinburgh to Bournemouth hence the lower price (supply-side factor). Simultaneously, there is little demand for the flights. The equilibrium price of £2 reflects this supply-demand situation. The £28 taxes distort this.

Odeon change their prices to reflect demand also. Hence it is more expensive to visit at weekends and evenings. Perhaps if you bought two tickets for a Monday evening it would have been half the price you paid.

I think I understand that. So I should charge my client £50 on Monday £800 Tuesday to Thursday £80 on Friday. Any work after 6pm is off peak and is charged a £2.


If I work fork Ryanair; I should charge £2, plus extra £200 if they want me to use my brain plus Taxes £180, plus insurance £30.

You'd think flying down there 2 times a day was a little over the top then. I reckon the route is going to get real strong in the future. Flybe knocked BA out of Southampton, my original choice, but the £320 return flight put me off against the £32 return to Bournemouth.
