Explained in plain English

Why are holidays pricier?

When fewer people fly, airlines might increase ticket prices to cover their costs and maintain profits. This means your next holiday could cost more, especially if you're flying from Gatwick or to destinations like Turkey and Cyprus, which are seeing fewer travellers due to perceived conflict risks.
