Kerosene prices are rising, and so are ticket prices
Fuel prices have tripled compared to the prices that were valid when airline tickets were contracted.
TL;DR
- A significant increase in kerosene prices will require travelers to pay a surcharge for their flight arrangements.
- If the surcharge exceeds 8% of the total package cost, travelers can cancel their trip and receive a full refund.
- Airlines are obligated to inform passengers of any price changes at least 20 days prior to departure.
- The price of jet fuel has tripled compared to when initial flight contracts were signed.
- Air Serbia acknowledges that fuel is a major cost driver and that price adjustments, including surcharges, are necessary.
- Historically, airlines have rarely refunded passengers when fuel prices drop.
