The flights I am looking at this year to the same destinations are all $6500-7500! A direct flight in May from YYC-FRA is almost $10K! Has anyone else noticed this massive increase. If the rates stay this high, my days of flying AC J are pretty much over and I'll just fly whoever has the cheapest J. Crazy!
I even tried pricing some more indirect routes through places like LHR, ATH, ROM and they are off the charts.
The only ‘deals’ that continue to be available to many European cities are the 10-day stay tickets when you book for 2 people. Not helpful, of course, if you are traveling alone or if you can’t stay that long...
