The leisure travel market is very price sensitive - thats why sites like Webjet, Expedia and SkyScanner exist - to root out the cheapest air fare possible. And for the ad hoc market, those of us who travel only because the airline put a "too good to refuse" offer in the market, there is no other consideration. I went to London and Tokyo for no other reason than there was a too good to pass up fare offer (Singapore Airlines for London and Jetstar for Tokyo) :t_up: You might not choose to fly anything other than AIR but it would be a mistake to assume that others feel the same way. Most people I know fly whatever is cheapest.
