The so called "Budget Airlines" now seem to cater for people with higher budgets only.  A recent search for a return flight to UK showed prices for a short couple of hours flight that were more expensive than a 24 hour flight to Oz.  Not just for the parental rip-off for those with children travelling in school holiday periods either. Generally the prices this year seem to be astronomical and will probably deter many visitors who have a family and like to hire a villa and pay their own flights.
 It is cheaper to get a package holiday in a hotel,
 I fail to comprehend that the air fares have gone up so much even though the price of aviation fuel has fallen dramatically. I understand that airlines do not pay duty on the fuel either.
 Many of these airlines posted profits last year too.
 Another scandalous rip-off methinks.  And another reason not to go back to broken Britain.
 More euros for your pounds for visitors to Spain and all swallowed up by higher air fares.
