And scrap the fuel charge this will make the fare look alot more attractive
when booking.
But then again that might be seen as letting MOL get his way and we cant have that can we "god help us".
Taking away the fuel surcharge would leave a one way flight to IAD at just EUR103 all in which is very attractive but is it profitable?
A few weeks ago a fare to IAD without the surcharge would have been less than EUR80 all in so it's easy to sell flights cheaply if you can make money elsewhere but you can't do it as easily on long-haul like you can short-haul. I hate the way Aer Lingus call it a surcharge but they need to make money and really should just merge the fuel surcharge with the base fare so passengers see less charges but still pay the same fare.
