There were also declines, albeit not as substantial, in the report's measures for business class and best discount economy fares. The business class index was 13.1% lower at 50.6 points, while the best discount index was down 4% at 65.5 points. "The series is a price index of the lowest available fare in each fare class weighted over selected routes," BITRE said. "It does not measure real airline yields or average fares paid by passengers."
