But will just adding AI alone be enough? I propose we also add "blockchain", "the cloud" and "e-commerce" to ticket pricing in order to truly synergize profit dynamics.
if you buy an nft of your boarding pass you get priority boarding
Wtf is the point of that? Its the same plane, isn't leaving any time sooner if I board earlier.
Its not like a cruise ship where boarding an hour earlier means I can jump in pool while others are still getting on board.
Because people are morons and will pay an extra few hundred just to get into the tube first.
Or your bag will go into the overhead, and you'll be the first off the plane, especially when you have a tight connection. That 1A is getting to your next flight. That 38F is f'ed.
That sounds like a problem with the system, it sounds as if the entire reason for all of it is to milk as much as they can.
If you have a connecting flight you should get priority deboarding for free.
Also using the 1A may get you on a list /s
