As travellers make the last-minute decision to fly away for Christmas, some airfares are soaring. British Airways still has economy seats from London to Sydney on 20 December, returning two weeks later – but the fare is £3,640.
On the same dates from Heathrow to Barbados, Virgin Atlantic has only Upper Class available, with a fare of £10,227 return. And a Gatwick-Malaga trip with easyJet is £425 return, including a large cabin bag.
