Over the past year, fully loaded airliners and more expensive airfares have dropped consumer satisfaction with airlines for the first time in 10 years, according to a newly released J.D. Power survey.
Michael Taylor, Director of Travel Intelligence at J.D. Power, said in the North American Airlines report: “Over the past two years, customer satisfaction with North American Airlines has reached an all-time high for reasons that have been more misplaced. Compared to before.” Fewer passengers means more space on the plane, fewer queues and more flight attendants. But this business model simply won’t last long.”

US domestic airfare prices were 20% higher in March than in 2019, according to Adobe Analytics, as Covid-19 cases fell and major cities lifted restrictions on indoor dining and events such as concerts. Adobe notes that airfare prices are rising faster than bookings.
But based on feedback from 7,004 passengers between March 2021 and March 2022, the survey showed a decline in passenger satisfaction across all cabins, whether economy, premium economy, first or business. Taylor said it was the first annual drop since the 2012 survey.
