British Airways has dramatically increased the price of flights from Manchester to London over the Easter school holidays. This may be an attempt to discourage people from booking while the aviation industry struggles with a number of issues.

The lowest price for an economy ticket on the short haul 170 mile flight to the capital this week is £429. There is one flight on Sunday April 10 for £105, however, nearly all other flights are more than £400 for the flight that takes little over an hour.

For comparison, a train from Piccadilly to London Euston can be booked for as little as £30. Flights are being listed at this extortionate price until Easter Monday (March 18), the end of the Easter holidays.

This weekend is expected to see passenger levels at its highest since the pandemic begun, as vaccination rates and more relaxed rules mean people can travel more freely across Europe again.
