Codesharing, or allowing multiple airlines to sell tickets on the same flight as if it were their own, can lead to a lot of confusion. And it’s more than just a matter of, “What flight am I on?”

code sharing
The majority of travelers who book online actually don’t experience that many big problems. But, there are a number of potential small annoyances, that could become disasters, that seem to crop up. If only one of out 20 people has a real issue, it’s fine unless you happen to be that passenger.

Codesharing is flat-out dishonest. Why shouldn’t consumers be able to clearly see on which airline’s aircraft they will actually be flying? Why should one airline be allowed to claim a route that its planes, pilots and flight attendants never fly? Why should the government be complicit in this misinformation?

Code-sharing has been a boon to the airline industry. They get the benefits of an expanded route structure without any of the costs by piggybacking on another airline’s flights. If we applied this concept to other industries, Ford could eliminate their quality control problems simply by slapping their logo on a Honda or Toyota.

Another Air Travel Consumer Report. Another opportunity to confuse — if not deceive — the American public.
