Airlines have been cracking down on the practice for years.

Silly, algorithmic pricing leads to silly problems.
It really just goes to show how disconnected the cost and the price are.
The concept that they’re losing revenue by having someone not be on a flight is fairly absurd.
From the airline’s perspective they have an empty seat they could have sold to someone else, likely at a higher price, so it is lost revenue, but that assumes that every traveler wants to pay more.
About the only valid argument against skip lagging is the airport disembarkation fees being different.
Yeah but they had the choice to sell the seat or not. I’m having a hard time feeling bad for a company, who set their own price, being upset because they realized later they could have set it higher.
