Airport tax from major airports Heathrow/New York etc
The price of fuel has surely come down though with the commensurate price of oil? Its like going to Florida. Its about £2k to £3k for flights for a family of 4 before you even start looking at hotels etc. Wasnt all that long ago the flights per person were about £350/£400.Fuel costs mainly. They burn a lot. Then there's passenger duty etc.

Yes but the price of oil has come down enormously and is going down week by week on the international market due to over production. Surely this has to be factored in?If you drive a car did you notice the fuel price rises at all in the last five years or so?
too much money for the ordinary punter - shirley?Fuel prices are far higher than they were 10 years ago.
It's still far higher than 10 years ago. Also it's volatile, prices might shoot up again before your flight. Long term lower fuel costs will mean lower flight costs.Yes but the price of oil has come down enormously and is going down week by week on the international market due to over production.

Also werent there supposed to be bucket flights arriving soon via Easyjet type service to the US from Newcastle a la Freddie Laker?

£600? Way too much for people surely? How popular will the service be at that price?It's still far higher than 10 years ago. Also it's volatile, prices might shoot up again before your flight. Long term lower fuel costs will mean lower flight costs.
What do you mean?

It'll have cost more in the summer. Good price though. Paid less than half that in 2004 like.I'm going via LHR in December and its cost me £374. Only booked it 6 weeks ago.
£530 ncl-cdg-jfk staying in times square in June next year.
Flights were £405, I suppose it removes the inconvenience of changing but personally would rather spend £150 on clothes when I'm over there and wait an extra 2 hours to change flights.
You can get to Florida cheaper than that if you want. Going via Miami next year £1700 for three of us.
I'm a bit tight like but I'd pay the extra £150 to not have to change. Your hotel only cost £115? How many nights are you going for?
So if he had a family of four it would be between £2k and £3k given your family of 3 is £1.7k
I went ower three Septembers in a row during the mid 80s. It was so long ago Ive no idea what we paid for the UK-USA-UK flights but an internal flight oyster card like pass was available on "Continental" for next to nowt which we absolutely caned. We just turned up showed the pass and you were straight on any Continental flight you liked the look of that had spare seats. If there was no seats we just went back to the hotel and went back out on the lash and came back the next day to see what was available.
