He sheds light on the illogical pricing strategies employed by airlines, such as AD75, hidden city tickets, and point beyond tickets.

He also shares his creative solutions to travel issues, questioning the conventional airline pricing model and exposing the inconsistencies in pricing. This book is an eye-opener for anyone who purchases airline tickets, revealing how airlines have been deceiving customers for years.
