Can someone tell me what going on as this seems a little high for a fuel/security price rise because even if I change the date the rise is still there..

many thanks

I suspect it's due to the upcoming summer season. The airlines won't want to be advertising discounted fares at a time when they want to maximise revenue.

I don't know when you'll see discounting again for the winter schedules. Perhaps this is a permanant fare change *shrugs*.
