How do you calculate the rate the airlines?

The price of most tariffs are determined by complex computer programs that calculate the number of passengers may reserve seats on a given flight. But instead of flying with empty seats, an airline might offer discounted rates. Ticket prices may also be affected by competition with other airlines that offer low prices. The result is that passengers on the same flight could pay as much as a dozen different rates.
