Outline Brief information about airline pricing Direct Long-Haul flight Two different airline flight to the same airport Cheapest return flight ticket for long-haul

Airline pricing The basics: The price of your ticket consists of a number of things. Base fare Taxes and airport fees Fuel surcharge Service fee to issue Food Seat selection Baggage The last four are sometimes optional (especially for low-cost airlines) where you pay for them on top of the ticket price if you want them included. With the older, more traditional airlines, and for long-haul flights, these things are usually included in the ticket price.

Airline pricing Why do prices change? Prices change due to seat availability and demand. The cheaper booking classes might be sold out even if there's still 3 months before you leave. There are some dates of the year where there is simply higher demand. When a lot of people have to fly somewhere (and even more when they want to go to the same destination or area), airlines will set their prices at a higher level. Christmas, Thanksgiving and school vacations are the busiest times. Sometimes though, the reason for expensive flights doesn’t seem obvious at first. Imagine you want to spend your vacation in the Philippines and your desired travel dates coincide with a public holiday there. Many Filipinos living in the US wish to see their families and prices will rise because of higher demand.
