Travellers heading to Spain, Turkey, Ireland or Dubai in the school holidays could be paying almost double the prices.
Flights for half-term getaways are an average of 42% more expensive than before the coronavirus pandemic, according to new analysis. Consumer group Which? said the typical price of a one-way ticket for the week-long school holiday in October booked six months, three months and six weeks in advance was £212.
In comparison, it only costs around £150 for the same period in 2019. The increase has been blamed on rising fuel costs, pent-up demand for travel and airport passenger caps.
