When is the right time to fly? The case of southeast asian low-cost airlines
Conference Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
This paper examines whether airfares of three Southeast Asian low-cost airlines, i.e. AirAsia, Jetstar and Tigerair, vary according to flight departure time, flight departure day, and flight origin and destination. Data was gathered by visiting the flight booking pages of the three low-cost airlines between September 28, 2013 and October 27, 2013. The data set consisted of flights originating in Singapore (SIN) to Jakarta (JKT), Kuala Lumpur (KUL), Bangkok (BKK) and vice versa. In total, there were 3,450 cases in the data set. The cases were categorized by airfare, flight departure time, and flight departure day. An ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that airline, flight departure day, and flight origin and destination resulted in statistically significant differences in airfare. However, flight departure time did not.
