    I would expect this kind of information to be highly proprietary for the individual airlines. It could certainly be very valuable for competitors.

    I think you're not going to be able to conduct this analysis unless you work for one of the airlines and then it would be almost impossible to include any other airline. It could even be considered a form of pricing collusion, and thus be illegal in some countries.

    Why are you doing this analysis? Maybe there's some other way to come at it.
