How do airlines make money?

Well, this is nothing really to do with skiing but I suppose could be applicable to skiing holidays:-

Cost of Honeymoon to Cuba for 2:£1700

2 x Upgrade too Premier Cabin £400

2 x Seat Reservation £50

2 x priority Booking £50

Total of add ons = £500

That is almost a third of the price of the main holiday again. They say there is no profit in holidays....no, it is in the bl00dy extras :evil:

(sorry, had to get that off my chest!!!!)

So don't pay it, then they would not charge the add ons.. it's really simple they are there to make money and they do :evil:

or spend money on fantastic 5* ski holiday and dont get married :mrgreen:

I've just booked return flights to the UK for 70.- chf and I flew from Marrakech to Geneva for 80.- € the other day, all seems pretty cheap to me.

Hi :D

I have been looking at flights for my end of year skiing trip and Easyjet are doing flights from Luton to Geneva for around £4.50 each way.....mind you the airport taxes on top are £17.00 each way ,but then again a return flight to europe for less than £50 ain't bad :D :D :D

Also with car hire for a week less than £130 , its cheap however you look at it , always look around for the best deals...

Jon. :D

You didnt have to pay the extras, or go to Cuba, or get married, but you chose to. It better be a fantastic trip at that price!

I have never paid more than £80 for a return flight to Europe.

My best deal was to southern Italy for £113 return, by the way that price was for the three of us :shock:
