How the price of this flight is built.
Almost everything you pay is decided by no one on our side. Airport charges, navigation fees, taxes, handling and fuel are set by the airport operators, Eurocontrol, the state and the market: they are the same for anyone booking this flight, and they change with the airport and with the season. That is why we do not publish a price list — we build the price on this route, and show you where every item comes from.
