Airports Are Inefficient
Posted: June 30th, 2008 | Author: saldarji | Filed under: technology, travel | No Comments »I don’t print out my boarding pass ahead of time because I’m lazy. Unfortunately, the airport on Monday morning was busy. There was a long line and it looked like there was a half hour wait. I’ve done this trip dozens of times so I know that there are some additional kiosks a short walk away. When I got to those kiosks I found that they were free.
Clearly, I was the beneficiary of an asymmetry of information. If everyone knew what I know everyone would have gone to the empty kiosks erasing my advantage.
It’s good to know that I can find an advantage at 5 AM Monday morning at Logan. I was beginning to doubt if I could find a good value situation to save my life.
