It's the reverse, the price you are paying is the normal price, they reduce the price most other days when demand is low so they can sell all the seats.

F*cking right on Aer Lingus in my opinion! EVERY other business will maximise their profits when they know demand is high.
Everything from Burger vans at National Day through to B&B's on festival weekends so why not airlines too?!

Edited to say you could always paddle across!

"business is hardly an excuse for it".....you're right, its not an excuse, its the reason! Everything in life costs more if the demand is higher, surely you can understand that.

They didn't put the price of the Mazdas up, but I'll bet a discount was a lot harder to find.


Just like with your flights.

Personally I think you are completely incorrect.

Supply and demand...

Its how business and the entire world works.

P.S Airlines would have had a TERRIBLE year! cant blame them for trying to make some money when they can!

It's a pain in the arse but they all do it.

I paid £300 to get to Lisbon and back to watch Bolton in the Uefa Cup.

It's about half that price normally, but just one of those things.
