Flights ever more expensive from German airports — analysis

Prices for air passengers traveling from airports in Germany within Europe are continuing to rise, even those for budget airlines, according to an analysis by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR).

The average cost now of a one-way tickets without luggage is between just under €67 ($78) and about €130, DLR said, as compared with average prices of between €66 and €110 a year ago.  

Lufthansa subsidiary Eurowings is the most expensive provider, charging an average of €130 for a one-way flight, up from €110 last year.

The analysis showed that advance planning is of advantage, with bookings made three months ahead costing in the range of €46 to €90, while those at short notice cost between €119 to €169.

The factors driving the price increases are a continuing shortage of flights, high taxes and fees, according to the analysis.
