Re easyjet - been flying with them from BTL for around 12 years now and it's pretty obvious their business model is changing.
This v quick ramping up of flight prices on 'day one' is getting more and more prominent.
We are frequent visitors to the Algarve - if i dont get a flight in first few hours of release, prices really ramp up within next few hours.
I cant book at mo due to my wife needing clearance from her work - i've never known easyjet flights to go so high so quickly on 'day one' since we've been using them.
The days of cheap flights, from their regional bases, are gone imo.
I'm actually finding it quite depressing.
I think any recession in travel overseas is well and truly over.
