Over the last few days there has been much talk about price gouging in the hotel industry. No doubt such behaviour happens across all industries from time to time.
Has anyone noticed how expensive air fares are out of Ireland at present?
This week fares to many places within Europe are in the €300/€400 range. At the same time fares between Berlin Brandenburg and Barcelona, and between Alicante and Paris are in the €70s and €20s respectively.
One might argue that we are paying far too little to travel by air if we are genuinely concerned about our carbon footprint.
But besides that, why are fares out of Ireland so expensive? Is there any competition or is it that a cosy cartel is in operation? It would seem so.
