    Navigating the world of airline pricing can be a daunting task for travelers seeking affordable flights. Prices fluctuate based on various factors, including demand, seasonality, and booking timing. Understanding these dynamics is essential for identifying the best deals and making informed travel decisions. In this chapter, we will explore the complexities of airline pricing, including how fare classes impact costs, the significance of booking in advance, and the advantages of being flexible with travel dates. By grasping these concepts, you’ll be better equipped to secure the most economical flights for your adventures. 
      
    Airlines utilize a complex pricing structure influenced by multiple factors to determine ticket prices. One of the primary components is the concept of supply and demand. When demand for a particular route is high, airlines are likely to raise ticket prices to maximize revenue. Conversely, during periods of low demand, airlines may lower prices to attract more customers. 
    Another critical factor in ticket pricing is fare classes. Airlines typically categorize tickets into different fare classes, each with its own price point and conditions. These classes can range from economy to first class, with prices adjusted based on the amenities and flexibility offered. For instance, a ticket in a higher fare class may allow for free cancellations or changes, while a lower fare may come with stricter restrictions.

    A lifelong fascination with all things bones. A four-decades-long hunt for the specimens of 2,500+ species past and present. An unwavering desire to preserve, appreciate, and display this rich history of life on Earth. 
    These things led to the establishment of the largest privately-held collection of osteological pieces in the world; a place where science displays are more like works of art ... capturing the attention of every eye that lands upon them, and telling a profound story without uttering a single word. 
    I'm Richard Jacobs. A casual trip with my family to a bone museum sparked a number of observations that I found too intriguing not to share. 
    Enjoy. And please, never stop being curious, and never stop asking questions – the good ones can lead to the greatest discoveries of mankind.

    Everything you need to know to survive in the greatest place on Earth 
    Have you ever had a goodbye lasting more than four hours? Do you lack the emotional capacity to say “I love you” so you just tell your loved ones to “watch out for deer”? Have you apologized to a stranger because she stepped on your foot? If you answered yes to any of these questions, there’s a good chance you’re a Midwesterner—or a Midwesterner at heart.  
    Even if you answered no, you probably know someone who held the door for you from two football fields away. He likely waved at you and said, “Hey there,” like you organized the church bar crawl together. That was a Midwesterner in the wild. We understand that your interaction was strange—but it’s likely to get stranger. Don’t wait until they stick their head in your second-floor window to invite you over for a perch fry because they climbed on your roof to clean your gutters. There’s no need to pull the pepper spray; this species is helpful by nature. And the relationship could be very symbiotic—but only if you let it happen. And that’s where this book comes into play. 
    Inspired by my comedy tours across the Midwest and life growing up in Wisconsin, this book is an exploration into my favorite region on Earth. Some may think the Midwest is just a bunch of bland flyover states filled with less diversity than a Monsanto monoculture. But scratch that surface with your buck knife and you’ll find rich cultures and traditions proving we’re more than just fifty shades of milk.  
    So whether you’re a born-and-bred Midwesterner looking to sharpen your skill at apologies or a costal elite visiting the in-laws for the holidays, this book will help you navigate the Midwest, with everything from the best flannel looks to dating and mating rituals (yes, casserole is involved) to climbing the corporate corn silo to how to handle a four-way stop—and every backyard brat fry in between.  
    And for those of you who don’t like reading, don’t worry—we’ve got pictures! Toss in illustrations, sidebars, quizzes, and jokes worthy of a supper club stall and The Midwest Survival Guide is just the walleye-deep look into this distinctive, beautiful, and bizarre American culture you’ve been looking for. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
