It was, this article is from 2013; the cheapest flights I can find now are twice as expensive round-trip, and will likely go up even further to discourage frequent flying to try and reduce emissions.
- creesch 2y agoThat's true, but since then we also have had some sort of global event. One of the side effects of that event has been that remote work has become much more normalized around the globe. Which is reflected by the fact that the lifestyle of digital nomads also has taken off in recent years.
- nottorp 2y agoYep. Flight prices have gone up. Btw, I hope he didn't think he would get to the company Christmas party on just eur 54, even in 2013. My data points are having a kid studying abroad (one direct flight away, inside the EU). The days when she could get a round trip for the holiday for eur 59 are loong gone.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoI refuse to believe anyone can make money selling $50 flights on a $150M plane
- nephanth 2y agoNevermind the cost of the plane, I don't understand how they aren't losing money on the petrol alone. We're talking the price of a full tank on a small car to transport someone from Barcelona to London and back (Even though they don't pay taxes on that gas)
