"London to Cape Town is cheaper if you use an airline that has to take you via Europe or Asia. A perfect example of the airlines squeezing passengers and ignoring the environmental implications of short-haul flights." I believe that is because airlines that are not either UK or SA domiciled are unable to fly direct, but are able to undercut BA and SAA by flying via their home countries and discounting the leg from there to the destination. Not so much the airlines' fault as that of those granting route licences. |
