Certainly very interesting. Me and the lads go to Veags at least twice a year because you cant go wrong paying anything from £350-£450 for a flight (hotel is generally free). However, if the prices start to go up to £600+....that won’t be happening.

The problem Vegas is having, is what our low cost airlines in Europe are facing. Ryanair and easyjet are taking a bashing with the oil prices. The last few years we have taken “lads weekends” to loads of places Ryanair travel, because it only cost £20-£35 round trip. However, looking at prices, what was once say £35, is now £95.....we won’t go for that price.....and this is the problem, where as people would go for such a cheap flight, they simply won’t any more!

What I would like to know is what is going to happen to the airlines? Surely if oil keeps going up, prices go up, people fly less....that tells me a lot of airlines are going bust???
