Single fare Milan-London £500. Is this the most expensive easyJet fare ever?
A company has contacted us to ask to verify the unbelievable.
Yes, it’s Friday and they’re arranging flights for travel on Monday so it’s at short notice.
London to Venice on Monday and Milan to London on Wednesday
The cheapest outbound flight is with British Airways, at £340 which is high, but not ludicrously high, unlike the only option on the return, which is with easyJet at £500! Or EUR591 plus a booking fee plus a checked in baggage fee of 15 Euros for 20kg
Two suggestions from this rant!
1. ALWAYS book as far in advance as you can – I have never seen a “last-minute” bargain on any of the no-frills or full service airlines.
2. Don’t call no-frills airlines or web-airlines “low-cost” airlines, because they’re not low-cost when you need them. They’ll charge as much as they can. They’re in business to make a profit. Yes they may dump some seats at £9.99 in advance but that shouldn’t earn them the “low-cost” badge.
