Sir, – This ramping-up of air fares for major events and concerts must end. Flights that may ordinarily cost no more than €60 can cost up to €300-plus when the airlines get wind of these events.
Of course we have the idiots who tell the airlines why they are travelling to clue them in as the price soars. It’s time for tough legislation to stop price gouging when big events take place.
Many people who are not going to these events may want to travel for medical reasons, visitations or work. They have to pay way over the odds because people going to these events want a good time and don’t care what it costs. – Yours, etc,
