But you get a glass of Cremant 🥂
You’ll spend the difference on the taxi from JFK 😆
Let me guess – Luxair?
Luxair thinks it is SIA or Emirates and follows their pricing.
Yeah every company that has « lux » in it thinks they can put luxurious pricing on all their services for whatever reason.
While I agree that Luxair often is much more expensive, especially for holiday destinations you need to understand that New York is a highly competitive destination with numerous airlines operating flights from all over Europe to New York. Last Year I was even able to fly for 300€ with Lufthansa from Luxembourg to New York and back. You will not find such prices for other intercontinental flights.
On the other hand Luxembourg-Rome is not competitive at all. I‘m not even sure if Ryanair or Easyjet fly Luxembourg-Rome? If not then Luxair can really set the prices quite high and people will still travel with them on that route. On top of this you need to realize that booking for the 22th when we‘re already the 15th is very short notice and I made the experience that with Luxair prices will only increase the closer you get to the flight date. In the past I was able to, on multiple occasions, book return flights with Luxair for 100€-200€ all over Europe (city trips) when booked early enough.
I understand what your general idea is, but not being able to spend a weekend in Rome or New York doesn’t really impact my life…
