Airlines get away with it because airline seats are in limited supply, making it a seller’s market. The buyers have to take whatever the airlines give them
On net, airlines lose money. In recent years, it seems to be mostly because of decreased demand (due to terrorism fears and TSA harrassment of passengers), and for decades it’s been because of price wars between airlines. I don’t think this is a market best described as a “seller’s market.”
