@Bold: I guess it’s the costs involved in using the longer routes to avoid the Russian airspace. Most of the United airlines flights have been cancelled or diverted until the end of April.
Long hauls are painful enough as adults, I can only imagine with kids. I still have PTSD from my long haul flight to South Africa (24hrs+ door to door!)
Just guessing - it still won’t be a like for like increase. Companies are milking it. Governments are getting away by blaming everything on Russia which just isn’t always the case.
