Around Europe cheap flights have transformed the continent's travel, and a rise in tourism has been seen. Nowhere in Europe has this been more important than the United Kindom, an island nation.
But now the writing is on the wall for low cost airlines operating out of the UK and other European countries as the Conservative Party - once a campaigner and implementer of lower taxes - has called for purchase tax to be introduced to domestic flights.
The tax would add up to 17.5 per cent on to the cost of a flight from one British city to another, but while flights to the European mainland and popular holiday islands such as Menorca aren't specifically mentioned, one travel company believes the new policy will inevitably lead to higher fares for flights not just within Britain, but elsewhere too.
Around Asia although cheap flight is not really cheap after all, after all kind of taxs that's usually won't be mentioned on the fares along with transport charges to the airport 50 miles away from city then the fares thats 9.99 (9.99 is a booking fares, not a normal fares that usually cost more)would than become 50.00 or more.
By the way low cost airlines boom still going on by intoducing new planes and new route, like the new Airasia (Picture Above New Airbus A320) KL-Singapore route, the most controversial route that at last open to them after years of lobby to the Malaysian Goverment,to be fair Firefly the low cost airlines, subsidiary of MAS now is allowed too.
Although what happen elsewhere might effected Asian Airlines industries along with oil price increasing and the hope to see totally low cost fares is there remain to been seen next year.
