So why are they so expensive now?
I recently come across some PDFs from airlines having bought tickets to go skiing and I was paying £50 return to Milan for example and in 2007 I was paying £35 return to Krakow.
I am going to Munich on Wednesday, coming back Sunday and the ticket cost £156. I fly quite frequently as part of work and so looked up air fares paid by my employer and these too are substantially up on two or three years ago
Why, is it taxes?

Think it'll be a while before we see those again; the tax (APD) is £13 each way on short-haul now IIRC.

That's not really 'expensive'. Air travel has become progressively less expensive due to competition.

True, but you do not get 99p flights anymore (OK, I know there are limited special offers) that used to be available easily a few years ago

Flights for 99p? I rate transporting myself way higher than that. For 99p I would rather walk :)
