Trying to book a flight to Cyprus , Larnaca or Paphos on Thursday 20th March , coming back on March 26th .
British Airways are taking the piss charging £717.60 for a flight taking off at 8.30 am and returning late afternoon on Wed 26th.
Cyprus Airways , usually also rather expensive are charging for the same flight times ie take off 8.45 am and depart at 17.45 from Larnaca back to Heathrow £333.70 !!! The difference is HUGE £383.90 more than Cyprus Airways !!! BRITISH AIRWAYS TAKE NOTE !!
How on earth can you justify charging more than DOUBLE for the same flight !! These jokers ought to be told that they are taking the piss , I will most certainly email them and tell them so !! What a load of Plonkers !!!

Which airline ?
I ought to say that I need an early flight so that arriving in Cyprus I find everyone awake !! Coming back to London I always prefer an afternoon flight so that I can have a little more sun in Cyprus !!

£717 in March !! That's not a rip-off, it's corporate daylight robbery and greed of the worse kind with a bit of actual bodily harm thrown in for good measure. They ought to be ashamed. At this price, is this flying with the late Concorde?

(They'll claim that it's the fuel cost, but I see they have a new policy of switching off the engines as they approach Thiefrow to save fuel.)

How would the retail world operate if it were run by airlines?
Customer: How much is your paint?
Shopkeeper: Well, sir that all depends
Customer: Depends on what?
Shopkeeper: On a lot of things, actually.
Customer: How about just giving me an average price?
Shopkeeper: That’s too hard a question - the lowest price is €9 a gallon and we have 150 different prices up to €200 a gallon.
Customer: What’s the difference in the paint?
Shopkeeper: There isn’t any difference - it’s all the same paint.
Customer: Then Id like some of the €9 paint.
Shopkeeper: Well, first I need to ask you a few questions. When do you intend to use it?
Customer: I want to paint tomorrow, on my day off.
Shopkeeper: Sorry sir, the paint for tomorrow is the €200 paint.
Customer: What? When would be I have to paint in order to get the €9 paint?
Shopkeeper: That would be in three weeks, but you’d also have to agree to start painting before Friday of that week and continue painting till at least Sunday.
Customer: You’ve got to be kidding!!
Shopkeeper: Sir, we don’t kid around here. Of course Ill have to check to see whether we’ve got any of that paint available before I can sell it to you.
Customer: What do mean, Check to see whether you can sell it to me. You've got shelves full of the stuff. I can see it right there.
Shopkeeper: Sir, just because you see it, doesn’t mean we have it. It may be the same paint, but we only sell a certain number of gallons on any given weekend.
Oh, and by the way - the price has just gone up €12.
Customer: What do you mean? You’re telling me the price just went up while we were talking?
Shopkeeper: Yes sir. You see, we change the prices and the rules thousands of times a day, and since you haven’t actually walked out of the store with your
paint yet, we’ve just decided to change. Unless you want the same thing to happen again, I would suggest you get on with your purchase. How many gallons do you want?
Customer: I don’t know exactly. Maybe five gallons. Maybe I should buy six gallons, just to make sure I have enough.
Shopkeeper: No sir, you can’t do that. If you buy the paint and then don’t use it, you’ll be liable for penalties and possible confiscation of the paint you already have.
Customer: I don’t believe it!!
Shopkeeper: That’s right. We can sell you enough paint to do your kitchen, bathroom, hall and front bedroom, but if you stop painting before the bedroom, you are in violation of out tariffs.
Customer: What does it matter to you whether I use all paint? I’ve already paid for it.
Shopkeeper: Sir, there’s no point in getting upset. That’s just the way it is. We make plans based on the idea that you’ll use all the paint and when you don’t use it all it causes us all sorts of problems.
Customer: This is crazy. I suppose something will happen if I don’t keep painting until after Saturday night.
Shopkeeper: You’re dead right.
Customer: Well, that does it. I’m going somewhere else to buy my paint.
Shopkeeper: That won’t do you any good, sir. We all have the same rules.
