I was wondering if, or when , airlines would lower surcharges. Gasoline prices have plummeted in the last six months, so I would assume that jet fuel prices also decreased.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to go to England in April and am holding off buying a ticket hoping that the fall in fuel prices will bring lower fares.
ReplyDeleteBut I'd heard this was not likely because the airlines buy their fuel months in advance at fixed costs so right now their using fuel they paid more than the current market rate for. But I never did understand fare pricing???
As I understand it, many airlines contract for fuel in advance, and that's a gamble. If fuel prices rise, the airlines (and perhaps the passengers) win. If they fall, airlines are required to pay the higher, contracted-for prices, and everybody but the jet-fuel purveyors lose. Sometimes, IMO, airlines could but choose not to lower prices when fuel prices fall.
ReplyDeleteLast spring, my husband and I grabbed what seemed like bargain tickets when United inaugurated London-Denver nonstop service. The ticket price was under $500, but once the fueld surcharges, security fees and other extras were added, the total came to close to $900.
I've never flown Iceland Air--what is their service, seating, food service, etc. like?
ReplyDeleteDear Mandy, if you are looking for cheap flights there is a search engine called Momondo.com that searches the cheapest flights, icelandair is included in the search. It´s pretty fast too and it looks for hotels as well.
