July ticket prices
Hi,
I'm looking at return flights in Y from DXB-LHR between 1st-24th July. Prices are anything between 5430 and 6130 dirham for a flex ticket - does this not seem unusually expensive?
I did a flight in Y at xmas time for 5800 and that was flex plus. A flex plus ticket this July is 7930. Surely no one would pay those prices for a Y ticket and would shift to an alternate airline...
I'm wondering whether I should bite the bullet now or wait a while to see if prices come down closer to the time - the flights aren't anywhere near busy at this stage. Any advice with regards to this would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

yeah I'm struggling to find seats from CPT-VIE for end of next week, so much so that I've now booked from JNB. there definitely seems to be a crunch on flights to Europe from next week onwards. I checked dates up until the first week of July and it's all just Flex Plus seats remaining which cost as much in J as a First Flex virtually
