Three Times More Costly!

WELCOME TO EDITION 841 of GRAPEVINE

Off to Cognac for the 2022 harvest

Last 31 March 2022, when I flew to Paris on Singapore Airlines, the return ticket was S$1,305.

Next month, 20 September 2022, I will be heading to France again. If I had booked on SQ, the return ticket would be almost S$3,800.

Friends who fly Business Class on the same carrier has been informing their return tickets to Paris are between S$12,000 and S$13,000.

After three flights on Singapore Airlines since October 2021, I am reverting to Air France as that is the airline I used most (and because I am not worried about having to do any pre-departure Covid test flying AF).

The price of my Air France Singapore/Paris; Paris/Bordeaux; Nice/Paris; and, Paris/Singapore ticket comes to S$1,885.

And I shadn’t have to wear a mask on AF. 

Wishing you A Very Good Week Ahead!
