We called Boyd to talk about a new study from Carlson-Wagonlit travel that has MSP ranked as the 11th most expensive city in the country to fly out of and says that we would see higher-than-average hikes in the cost of those already high prices.
"This bit about Minneapolis as somehow a lot worse off than other airports just simply isn't true," Boyd said. "It's not a cheap airport to fly out of but then again, compared to its peers in other hubs, it is not particularly more expensive either."
When Phil Picardi countered that Detroit and Atlanta - both Delta hubs - ranked 43 and 45 on that list of most expensive luxury car rental houston cities to fly out of, Boyd said the Carlson Wagonlit's numbers were "flat wrong."
"Forty-nine percent of all passengers at Minneapolis-St. luxury car rental houston Paul aren't in Minneapolis-St. Paul," he said. "They're just crossing the hall to get to another Delta flight. What those people do though is provide enough support so Minneapolis has far more air service to far more destinations than it would without that connecting hub."
The Daily Circuit's interview with Mike Boyd misrepresented the results of CWT's most recent travel forecast and projections. In fact, it was a report last year by the federal Bureau of Transportation Statistics that said MSP had the 11th-most-expensive average airfares among U.S. airports.
The numbers from Carlson luxury car rental houston Wagonlit Travel's (CWT) study are based off of CWT transaction data over the past five years – 30 billion transactions – and business travel fares vs. leisure luxury car rental houston fares, which have very different rates. We stand by our projections that airfares out of Minneapolis-St. Paul will rise about 5 to 8 percent overall luxury car rental houston in 2013 and invite people to read our study to understand how we calculated our data.
Ultimately, the cost increases we are projecting indicate that airfare in the Twin Cities market will be double than that of the U.S. on average overall, not any one market in particular. Our projections luxury car rental houston are based on business travel and thus show the effect travel luxury car rental houston prices will have on businesses that send their employees on the road.
