Market Fare Analysis Topaz Market Fare Analysis Each quarter, Topaz selects the most frequently booked city pairs from its proprietary database to appear in the Market Fare Analysis. The average cost per segment and cost per mile is provided for the city pair, broken out by fare basis. The segment data included here is one of the very few easily accessible reference documents that can help the user understand how other business travel is priced. Cost per Segment The most popular use of cost per segment is to analyze the company s expenditures compared to the Topaz averages which can be broken down by fare basis. Companies often change policy to reflect significant cost reduction based on analyzing the averages by fare type. For instance, the nonrefundable airfare is typically the lowest type of airfare a business traveler can use. A change in policy could result in cost savings if travelers booked a nonrefundable instead of discount coach airfare. Having the ability to quantify the impact of a policy changes can encourage policy mandates as well.

Most often, cost per mile is used in airline negotiations, since cost per mile is a common unit of measurement in the airline industry. Knowing cost per mile sets the stage for effective airfare negotiations. Some companies look at cost per mile as a measurement tool for benchmarking purchasing performance.
