is it because of contracts?
and do we really charge business travelers more than we do personal travelers? i mean, this can't be an official thing, right? so if a business traveler happened to just book his own flight off the internet, he could get the same cheap fare? but since the company does the booking, they get screwed and pay twice the fare? this still doesn't make any sense to me, but that's my guess.

It's because airlines charge less for tickets with Saturday stayovers, which business travelers rarely use, but personal travelers often do. This has stopped somewhat recently with the advent of low-cost carriers, but business travelers often are booking at the last minute, which is more expensive as well. So, it isn't "you are a business person, we'll charge you more", it's "you are traveling between Monday and Friday with no Saturday stay over and you booked two days in advance, you are being charged more."
