The banknotes, more expensive than last year
The study carried out by Trabber.es also indicates that airline tickets have experienced a slight increase compared to last year. In February 2014, according to the report, prices for domestic flights increased by 4% compared to the same month in 2013.
Positive effect of competition
Increased competition between airlines has also had a positive effect on final prices, especially on European and transnational flights: there has been a greater offer at some airports to European and world destinations and there are low-cost airlines that have even reduced the price for baggage check.
Spaniards booked too late
Another study, in this case carried out by the flight comparator Skyscanner.es , highlights that Spaniards book tickets at the last minute, 65% of residents in Spanish territory paying a surcharge for their flights. However, according to the comparator, the best time to purchase a ticket is seven weeks before starting the trip.
