Question

Is this Price Discrimination?

Southeast Airlines offers domestic flights to a variety of U.S. cities. The company's last-minute flight discount service, Ping, can be downloaded for free from its website. Each day, Ping will alert users to that day's deals. These deals are available for a short period of time and are good for travel only between certain locations during specified travel periods. Therefore, business travelers tend not to take advantage of these offers.
