Travel overview case study A leading airline assessed the impact of a new business class seat with Test & Learn®

The airline needed to measure the impact of investments in a new lie-flat business class seats on repeat booking and long term revenue – but struggled controlling for biases that existed between customers who flew in the new seat and those who did not.

Test & Learn® helped the airline find the most relevant comparison groups of passengers who flew in the new business class seat and similar travelers who flew in the old seat.

Test & Learn® analysis showed a 33% lift in revenue, sustained for 6 months after a customer’s new seat experience. By targeting future business class seat aircraft and recommending marketing investments, Test & Learn® identified $47 million in incremental revenue.
