Aviation fuel price?

[Sir loin]

How come the price of a holiday abroad has not gone through the roof due to the high cost of aviation fuel ,pricing holiday makers out of the market from taking a break abroad. We have a small caravan site that is relatively quiet and people are heading abroad rather than the Yorkshire dales. I have never had or wished for holidays abroad rarely leave Yorkshire , there's my bit for the environment.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. When fuel prices have risen sharply before, the airlines have added fuel surcharges but we haven’t heard anything about that this time.

i was thinking similar......big rush to go abroad....though god knows why as airports are horrible places these days IMO.....our holiday let is quieter than normal which is a bit worrying

only thing i can think is airlines bought fuel forward last year so impact yet to catch up

Airline travel seems to be sacred, much like house prices.

They will be getting specail treatment no doubt .

 

[Devil's advocate]

Oh

I thought someone must be using an aircraft of some type for crop spraying or taking photo of crops.

If fuel is £2 a litre and too expensive to fill up why is the main road past my farm still hectic most hours of the day? No they are not going to work mid morning or delivering stuff either. Its a mystery.

Was having this discussion last night….the roads are as busy now as they were when fuel was £1.40
Only time the roads were quiet was lockdown….bliss

I was told the airlines were paying just a few pence per litre still

They will just put £20 in five times a week instead of three and never notice

It’s frightening now… £100 of fuel doesn’t last long

No it’s all out of hand
We were clipping sheep yesterday and my lad asked if wool had gone up like everything else I said no it’s inflation proof he said like everything else in farming

People spending furlough money, most of these holidays will have been booked last year

Any flights I've looked at are more expensive at the moment.
Air New Zealand said yesterday prices are going to rise. Apparently filling up a 787 Dreamliner to go from NZ to LA used to cost $40,000 USD now costs $96,000. Meaning ticket prices have risen 20%.
Perhaps your airlines are eating some of the rise?

kerecene £1 a litre jet fuel is just well filtered kerecene

i am sure the airlines will hedge fuel based on seat sales many people booked holidays months ago

I don’t think the OP has actually kept track of prices. They have never gone abroad so have never priced any flights let alone monitored them for a year or two to gauge any differences. Not exactly a position of authority.

 

[Spencer]

Government probably subs it as it’s good for the environment..

 

[Sir loin]

so have they doubled in price?

Been looking at return tickets to NZ and I’ve found they’ve Almost doubled in price since I last went in 2018
