Is there a lot of overlap between people who can't afford a cellphone and are taking flights?

Yeah anyone who travels with children.

That is funny.

Not a lot, maybe, but in cases where someone else is paying for the flight, there may be some. And there are a fair number of older people who may be able to afford the plane ticket, but carry a dumb flip phone because that's what they understand and can operate.
