Yes, it's exactly the same flights. Additionally, when I booked I was able to have my desired seats assigned to me there and then, such was the availability.
It is unfortunate that I can't make a reasonable observation of a mark-up of £2432 on a fare that three weeks ago cost me £1534 - an increase of 258% and not 38% as previously mentioned - without sarcastic comments for other posters.
Now why would an airline nearly treble their price in such a short space of time.
Can someone give me an unbiased and logical reason, apart from my own feeling that it is opportunism at its worst?
I don't want to see any ad hominems, rather reasonable justification please.
