This is the only reason I'd ever consider a European FP. yyznomad, can you comment here? Do LH or other intra-European flights skyrocket in price like AC when tickets are booked last minute?
My sample size is rather small but I haven't noticed much of a difference in price....I'm thinking of booking on AC and perhaps buying the 2nd ticket once I land...to avoid the chance of a misconnection.
