Bad news for latecomers who have not yet decided where to spend their summer holidays and are currently preparing to buy a plane ticket to get to a foreign capital or a foreign tourist destination. Flight prices have in fact reached record levels, as confirmed by Istat which recorded a 160.2% increase in international airfares in July. Assoutenti, an association that has compared the fares charged by airlines to some European and international destinations, takes into account the “expensive flight”.
It turns out that those who want to go to China starting in Rome and landing in Beijing have to face a cost of approximately 3,400 euros (one-way, 3 stops), which comes to more than 10 thousand euros if you choose the fastest connection. For Sydney tickets, Sydney fares start at €1,594 to embark on Fiumicino (always one way), 1582 from Milan. To go to Singapore requires 1,200 euros from both cities and 950 euros for Tokyo.
Traveling to Jakarta is cheaper if you start from Milan (685 € vs. 1341 €), as well as New York (tickets start from € 1243 from Fiumicino, € 915 from Malpensa), while the situation reverses if the destination is the city. Mexico: 1,184 euros from the capital, 1,263 euros from Milan.

Also expensive to go to London (419 euros on the Fiumicino – Heathrow route) while those who want to spend a few days in romantic Paris (landing at Charles de Gaulle airport) spend 314 euros starting from Rome, but only 113 if the trip starts in Milan (but in this The case starts from Lynette and goes back to Malpensa). Assoutenti explains that fares that do not take into account additional costs (handbags, seat selection, travel insurance, etc.), and taxes can significantly increase the final invoice for the purchase of a ticket.
“Air transport is rapidly becoming a luxury for the wealthy – warns Assoutenti president, Furio Truzzi – the increase in energy costs and the increase in fuel prices have been transmitted entirely to end consumers through an abnormal increase in tickets. , an increase of 160% in July compared to 2021. Unfortunately, the situation will only get worse: the interruption of flights operated by airlines due to staff shortages leads to a general reduction in communications, with direct negative consequences for the prices of seats that are still available and for the pockets of users”, concludes Trouzi ..
