@ Lisa Julia. The Flight you mention is part of the End of Season increases at the end of October and beginning of November. The Tour Operators deliberately increase Flight costs because most people are returning from working the Season. They do this every year. But if you look at earlier Flight costs and later costs. You will see they are much cheaper based on much less Passenger demand . Until you reach near Christmas and the New Year. When the demand is much higher.
Well, the ‘better in winter slogan’ was a bit … rubbish. Two major issues: lack of flights (numbers collapsing approaching Xmas) and huge cost. Looking at a flight (one way) Sunday November 5 at 300 euro plus … eeek!!! Cheaper to fly to the US. And that ladies and gentlemen is why winter in Mallorca is never better - not to mention the weather :(
To continue the British Surge of Bookings into the Winter. More attractions are needed. Plus staff to operate them.
this week.
