Airline costs vary depending on direction you fly

AIRLINE passengers are being charged hundreds of euro more for flights than travellers flying the same journey but in the opposite direction.

The Irish Examiner looked at 10 popular routes in and out of Ireland and found discrepancies in fares of up to €250 one-way, confirming the end of the popular myth about a return ticket being cheaper than two single tickets.

For instance, a British Airways flight from Dublin to Sydney, Australia, in mid-March costs €1,068 before taxes.
