How the Airlines Became Cartels

There is some information asymmetry. I wonder if the status quo would continue if we put the inches of legroom next to the price, or people would start using it to make purchase decisions.

Google Flights tells you how much leg room you will get. For example: https://www.google.com/flights/#search;f=BOS;t=SFO;d=2017-05...

  Boston (BOS) – San Francisco (SFO)
  JetBlue 833 · Airbus A320
  Above average legroom (33")

I remember seeing legroom on Orbitz/Kayak/whoever in the past, but I don't see it now.
