I can fly roundtrip on a jet from Atl to Vegas or Miami for $200.

But if I fly on a smaller plane to Raleigh, NC it costs $400. why is that?

      For the same for the same for the airline for flight with 75 so essentially the fewer people as flight with 300 people as flight with 75 so essentially the airline for the same for flight with 300 people the more each has to pay.

      Landing costs are high and when only small planes can land that means fewer passengers so they have to defer larger amounts to less customers. Basic supply and demand keeps it alive though doesn’t it?
