The war in \u2019 caused energy and fuel prices to skyrocket, but another interesting trend that could actually benefit travelers has also developed.<\/p>\n

According to an analysis by flight comparison site FlightsFinder.com, some affordable airlines, such as Ryanair, WizzAir and EasyJet, charge their fares. %From 10 to %It appears to have dropped by 30 percent.<\/p>\n

Founder Shahab Siddiqui Europe in Motion\u2019a \u201cOur fee history shows a steady decline in prices over the past few months, \u201d said. For example, \u201cUKRoutes from \u2019 to European destinations such as Nice, Palma and Barcelona %From 10 to %It's down by 30. \u201d<\/p>\n

According to experts, lowering prices is part of some airlines' strategy to make travel as attractive as possible to potential customers. weaker demand and broader economic losses<\/strong>This is what the industry is currently facing.<\/p>\n

Such discount prices can be reached through fuel risk hedging, which allows airlines to fix or cap fuel prices for a certain period of time. But Siddiqui warned that these competitive prices would not be sustainable in the long run.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese agreements will expire in the second half of this year, which is expected to trigger a universal price increase on all intra-European routes.\u201d<\/p>\n

How much does Iran increase the prices of warplanes in \u2019?<\/b><\/p>\n

Although some holidaymakers travelling within Europe can still find cheap tickets, those traveling further afield probably won't have the same chance, given that non-European destinations are more affected by disruptions due to the conflict in the Middle East\u2019 and increases in fuel prices.<\/p>\n

As FlightFinder\u2019's research shows, prices have been approximating in recent weeks. %With an increase of 300%, important corridors between Asia and Europe were particularly affected.<\/p>\n

The London-Singapore route saw one of the sharpest increases; The average ticket fares increased from about 600 Euro\u2019 to almost 1,800 Euro\u2019. London\u2019 to Bangkok\u2019 %A similar increase of 273\u2019 was recorded.<\/p>\n

Currently, however, some of the most expensive tickets are for the Frankfurt-Singapore and Paris-Bangkok routes, with round-trip tickets currently selling for around 2,800 Euro\u2019.<\/p>\n

According to FlightFinder\u2019, some airlines have increased fares, while others have canceled flights altogether; KLM withdrew 50 flights due to operational costs.<\/p>\n

Other airlines are trying to offset high costs with price increases: According to FlightFinder\u2019, Air France and Lufthansa have introduced an additional fee of 10 Euro\u2019 on all medium and long-haul routes.<\/p>\n

Which airlines are rerouting flights and where?<\/b><\/p>\n

While flying through Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha\u2019's usual super-connector hubs has become riskier, some carriers are heading to Istanbul and Cairo\u2019ye, or even Ethiopia\u2019ye, for destinations such as the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean\u2019.<\/p>\n

In the report of FlightsFinder\u2019, \u201cPassengers are actively rebooking Turkish Airlines \u2019 as a result of joint alliances to stay in Istanbul\u2019 and dodge the Gulf countries.<\/p>\n

Other airlines, such as British Airways and Cathay Pacific, have increased the number of direct routes to Asia\u2019, completely bypassing stopovers in the Gulf\u2019, and adding direct flights to Bangkok and Singapore\u2019a once a week.<\/p>\n

What should travelers do to minimize time and money losses?<\/b><\/p>\n

FlightFinder warns that long-haul flyers should expect their journey to take an estimated one to four hours longer than usual, given that routes that are usually direct now also include pauses due to refueling or rerouting needs.<\/p>\n

In light of this, travel experts recommend leaving a waiting period of at least three hours, as \u201crota congestion can disrupt the synchronization of schedules.<\/p>\n

Experts also recommend booking flexible tickets to minimize disruption, as well as requesting a refund if the route is severely disrupted.<\/p>\n

Do you automatically receive a refund on non-European flights?<\/b><\/p>\n

No, no, no, no. Unlike AB\u2019den or countries like the US and UK, worldwide refunds are not always guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Passengers should check the country-specific laws and the airline's policies in case of any disruption before traveling.<\/p>\n

Another suggestion is to fly as lightly as possible.<\/p>\n

Baggage handling systems are under increasing pressure as flights are unexpectedly redirected and routed through alternative hubs.<\/p>\n

FlightsFinder recommends that if you have \u201c, insert a smart GPS tracker like Apple AirTag into it so you can locate it if it's lost due to a chaotic connection, \u201d advises.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
