Delta Announces New System Where AI Makes Up the Price for Your Ticket on the Spot

In the latest sign frivolous and irritating use of AI, US airline Delta is looking to harness the tech to set prices for each individual customer, instead of just listing what they actually cost. As Fortune reports, the airline is looking to push the boundaries of how much passengers are willing to shell out for a plane ticket. By the end of this year, Delta hopes to price 20 percent of its tickets individually, using AI. The practice has already drawn plenty of scrutiny from lawmakers and pri

Delta Air Lines is using AI to set the maximum price you’re willing to pay

Delta Air Lines is leaning into dynamic ticket pricing that uses artificial intelligence to individually determine the highest fee you’d willingly pay for flights, according to comments Fortune spotted in the company’s latest earnings call. Following a limited test of the technology last year, Delta is planning to shift away from static ticket prices entirely after seeing “amazingly favorable” results. “We will have a price that’s available on that flight, on that time, to you, the individual,”

Delta moves to eliminate set prices, use AI to set your personal ticket price

Fresh off a victory lap after a better-than-expected earnings report, Delta Air Lines is leaning into AI as a way to boost its profit margins further by maximizing what individual passengers pay for fares. By the end of the year, Delta plans for 20% of its ticket prices to be individually determined using AI, president Glen Hauenstein told investors last week. Currently, about 3% of the airline’s flight prices are AI-determined, triple the portion from nine months ago. Over time, the goal is t

Will AI end cheap flights? Critics attack Delta’s “predatory” AI pricing.

Delta has become the first airline to announce that it is using AI to boost profits by personalizing pricing through a pilot program that for months has caused customers to pay different prices for the same flights based on their data profile. Critics have warned that this use of AI goes beyond airline practices that charge people who book flights ahead less than people who book flights at the last minute—and could ultimately mean the end of cheap flights across the board if other airlines foll

Delta Set to Expand AI-Powered Dynamic Ticket Pricing by the End of 2025

Last year, Delta Air Lines announced it was testing out dynamic pricing on some flights using tools built by the tech company Fetcherr. And while the test was initially limited, executives from the company announced that 3% of flights now use AI pricing, and they hope to sell 20% of all tickets using a dynamic price by the end of the year. Edward H. Bastian, the CEO of Delta, explained the strategy on an investors call last week, noting that it was “optimizing revenue through [its] partnership

Deltarune is halfway done, but it feels like a full game

The first chapter of the episodic, parallel story to Toby Fox’s acclaimed RPG Undertale came out nearly seven years ago.

Business Class Ain’t What It Used to Be. Don’t Tell First Class

Five years ago, Covid-19 largely brought business travel to a halt. Now companies are getting their employees back in the air, and carriers are reinventing themselves to appeal to post-pandemic fliers willing to pay more. Airlines worldwide are reconfiguring the real estate on their planes by segmenting their cabins into higher-margin business-class seating. They’re beefing up their traditional business cabins to snag higher fares while providing more luxurious premium economy seating for trave

Asus Rog Delta II Review: Lots To Offer, but Not Worth the Price

As a more casual gamer, I used to just play games with my computer speakers or sound bar, never bothering with gaming headsets. I would grab a cheap Microsoft or similar knockoff when I played with friends, but that was about it. That all changed when I got my first real gaming headset a couple of years ago. Now, my eyes (or ears, technically) have been opened. The better sound, and being able to hear everything around you including footsteps, really is a game-changer. Asus recently released two
