BA also seemed to have changed their website this week, I booked flights on Monday and the site looked very different. Maybe there was some problems.

You'll pay that for cans in the supermarket. The airport bar is £3 a pint. In central Tirana it's £2-3 a pint in most places. In backstreet cafes you might get the local beers at £1 - £1.50 a pint.

Albanian Hibs Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Booked our return journey with BA on the Tues (20th) : TIA-LGW-EDI £95 each. Going to wait til March to book the outward flight, when the budget airlines release their ones. Couple of nights in Tirana then down to Fier to spend another couple with the in-laws.

torontoarab Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 prices went up on BA (bastards but fair play to them for being on the ball) looking like transavia for me. were decent for Slovenia although they don't fly Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with BA being 'on the ball' - it's the load factor that dictates what happens to prices. More seats sold = higher prices for the remaining seats.
