“…This is evident from the results for RQ3 which show that business travelers are either unsure whether there are differences between the two major alliances, or firmly believe they are almost identical. The suggestion here is that the success of a global alliance is more a function of the market position of its members than any appeal in its own right (which appears to be consistent with views put forward by Choi andKim 1996 andKoppelman 1999). This is not to say the alliances are structurally the same, but rather that in the eyes of customers they are seen as the same.…”

Modeling passengers' flight choice behavior is valuable to understanding the increasingly competitive airline market and predicting air travel demands. This paper estimates standard and mixed multinomial logit models of itinerary choice for business travel, based on a stated preference survey conducted in 2001.The results suggest that observed demographic and trip related differences get incorrectly manifested as unobserved heterogeneity in a random coefficients mixed logit model that ignores demographic and trip-related characteristics of travelers. Among demographics, gender and income level have the most noticeable effects on sensitivity to service attributes in itinerary choice behavior, but frequent flyer membership, employment status, travel frequency, and group travel also emerge as important determinants. However, there is significant residual heterogeneity due to unobserved factors even after accommodating sensitivity variations due to demographic and trip-related factors. Consequently, substitution rates for each service attribute show substantial variations in the willingness-to-pay among observationally identical business passengers.

Treatment of reference alternatives in stated choice surveys for air travel choice behaviour

Stated Choice (SC) surveys are increasingly being used instead of Revealed Preference (RP) surveys for the study of air travel choice behaviour. In many cases, the choice situations presented in these SC surveys are constructed around an observed trip, where this is often included as one of the alternatives. Classically, these RP alternatives have been treated in the same way as the SC alternatives. The applications presented in this paper show that this potentially leads to biased results, and that it is important to recognise the differences in the nature of the two types of alternative. Additionally, the paper discusses issues caused by respondents who consistently prefer the RP alternative over the SC alternatives, a common phenomenon in such SC data.
