why the flights are cheaper from Europe to Latin america than the other way around?
I am wondering, why is this phenomenon, similar dates, exact period of time and the price is average difference of 200 Euros in the purchase price of a flight ticket, when traveling from Latin america ->Europe and when flying Europe-> Latin America is cheaper
What airline are you looking at? Are you looking at the same airline for the roundtrip? There are two things involved here. First is the currency conversion. This really applies if you are looking at two different carriers. When I purchase tickets to Europe from America, the prices on British Airways are much more expensive because I’m paying in pounds. The same applies if you are looking at a carrier that is a latin american carrier. You’re paying their currency rate which is much cheaper.
Second is just the basic supply and deman cycle. The Europe>Latin America is more of a tourist destination than the other way around. It’s also based on the sale fares in the time span. One week an airline may have half of an airplane on sale whereas other weeks they are more expensive.
