“Rekordbilligt to travel to the united states, ”Is crazy””
“It’s cheaper than ever to fly between Sweden and the united states. nDe record low prices get even the expert to be amazed. n– I am surprised, they are lower than I had thought, ” says Ole Stouby, ceo of resejämförelsesajten Travelmarket. “
“the Fares for both the western and eastern united states continue to decline, according to the Swedish flygprisindex, said Travelmarket in a press release. “
“The low prices also applies to travel between Denmark and the united states – the cheapest ticket ever between Copenhagen and New York city was found recently and cost 1 868 sek. “
“The lowest price right now between Stockholm and New York is 2 049 sek. “
“the Prices are without add-ons such as luggage, food and seat, but includes taxes and fees. “
“In the latest survey is the Austrian Air, Brussels Airlines, United Airlines and Swiss Airlines, which has had the lowest prices. All the flights are with a change. “
“Learn to continue to drop.”
“– It is a combination of, inter alia, competition between the airlines and the low oil prices, there is a very strange situation. It is the lowest prices ever, ” explains Ole Stouby. “
“His guess is that the price drop will continue in 2019. “
” I think it will drop further by about five, ten per cent in the coming year. “
“Stouby do not think that the falling prices have no impact on the flygresornas quality. “
“– the Quality is quite good because the competition is so high. Companies may not have a defect in their service or in their facilities on board, because the consumers then just select something else. “
“at the same time as prices are plunging ochmänniskor travel more and more so is an ongoing climate debate, where the airline industry is singled out as one of the worst miljöbovarna. “
“Many organizations are trying to encourage people to choose other modes than air, something Stouby do not think is going to happen. “
” the Market is difficult to control. I think that the airlines themselves need to make an effort and invent more environmentally friendly aircraft that do not require as much fuel. People will not travel less.”
“does not Work flygskatten because the prices just sink?”
” I don’t think it is the right way to go, since the tax has no effect on getting people to want to travel less. The capacity will only increase regardless. “
“But David Kihlberg, climate chief at the Swedish society for nature conservation, rather that the lowering of the prices shows why the tax is needed. “
“– We would need to raise the tax so you pay the whole of their carbon footprint, today it is only a small part. There are a whole lot of subsidies, you should review and phase out. We also need to bet more on the options. “
