For a long time (in the US at least) it was illegal for airlines to compete on price, so they could only compete on services and amenities. While the downside is that flying no longer feels like a luxury experience, the upside is that it no longer has to cost a luxury prize. It was Jimmy Carter who deregulated the airlines.

From an environmental perspective, deregulating airlines was a mistake.
