I heard a rumour.

Is it true that flight prices are going up, starting on 1st June 08? I heard they are going up 25% :(

Does anyone have a newsblog to confirm that this bad news is true? 😞

I haven't seen anything, but the way fuel is going up it has to be on the cards I spose. More a matter of which airline first... Reply to this

LOL
We have to pay more to have those security folk at the airports? They are so annoying with those inconsistant rules. One time you can take your perfume on board and the next they might make you throw it out....

Yeah, I think it is true. I bought a ticket from Germany to Ireland around a week ago. It cost around a third more than they cost last year.
