If the likes of us with a few quid to invest for a rainy day complain about high ticket prices imagine how those with a mortgage, 2 kids and a salary job feel.

Ticket prices cannot rise further . With inflation rising , economy falling , costs rising I do not see a brilliant future for airlines.

Results were very good but as Ron said its the forward you need to look at.

Interesting! Personally I'd wait or at least skyscanner it.Whilst I like BA, there's a bigger loyalty to my bank balance

The price im getting quoted is that price in June. So worried that it might go up more people won't be able to afford to travel with these prices.

[rongetsrich] 27/10/2023 09:27

teamwork 1, hold fire! These sales they have are reactive to bookings. Spitfire probably knows a bit more about how far ahead they look before they react to low booking numbers (the flash sales).I have a holiday I want to book for my family, but it's currently twice what I paid this June. Patience is key, just don't fold too early!

You have made a lot of good calls here Rongetsrich. Living up to your username.

Far better poster than some of the blinkered numpties that frequent here.

It's that verbal hash, the word expect. Read hope.From March I said Q3 was the one, and they did/ done good.Market sentiment and cheap money starting to roost were not understood back then.I'm all booked up til June next year so I get the forward bookings thing, but I'm of an age where I don't use credit, my kids have mortgages so I can see why the economy is two-geared.

Want to book Moroccon flights for next year its costing 1600 for 1 adult 2 kids. Its crazy I've never paid that amount. The most ipaid was 700

[whatsup32] 27/10/2023 09:16

We expect forward bookings to be "good".

That is why share price took a hit in otherwise superb results.

With uncertainties over oil , ME , rising costs and inability to raise ticket prices further, I don't expect airlines share price to fly.

Today proves that the market is indeed forward looking. The market doesn’t like the Middle East situation.

Congratulations on the good results though.

[rongetsrich] 27/10/2023 08:37

If the market over does this could I get a second trade in this week?

[younasm] 27/10/2023 08:37

Good time to add

[rongetsrich] 27/10/2023 08:36

lol, share price was up, then look.... Pretty butterflies and cute rabbits.... The market is forward looking, just remember that. The results were collated when, exactly!

[1spitfire] 27/10/2023 08:14

Great results. Never doubted it really and onwards and upwards. Lets hope a certain poster is chilling and can stop overthinking all the time.

[joshuam] 27/10/2023 07:42

Unbelievable results…..it doesn’t get better than that

[antofelli1] 27/10/2023 07:23

Not going to be much help when the Gaza / ME situation escalates. IMO.

[bigjock36] 27/10/2023 07:18

Record profits you clown

[antofelli1] 27/10/2023 07:06

“Whilst we maintain good forward bookings, we continue to be mindful of wider macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties that might affect the remainder of this year.”

[rongetsrich] 27/10/2023 06:49

Clearly, when at capacity you cannot assimilate information.Let's park it there as you single phase, and a bit naive in ways of the world.You should hope I'm wrong... I do.

[1spitfire] 26/10/2023 23:34

To be clear I never said Israel are not going all in. Ofcourse they will send the troops in and ofcourse there are uncertainties how this will play out but there's little chance it will escalate with Iran imo and many others. USA have their carriers their for that very reason to deter. Its all politics and power plays.

[1spitfire] 26/10/2023 23:31

Oh dear. You get terribly paranoid Ron and dramatic. Chill out. Drugs can do that so hope that's not the reason.

[1spitfire] 26/10/2023 17:42

Wrong again Ron re up ticking. Pretty sad thing to do or think of another. Listen up Iran won't join in. You're getting taken in as dont seem to understand the politics in this industry being genuinely honest. Iran have to talk the talk . Think about it. They want to stay in power and Raisi knows to not speak out for fellow Arab country would be suicide . He also know to act would be complete suicide. Hope that makes sense

[rongetsrich] 26/10/2023 16:59

Listen in, and stop up ticking yourself. What happens when Iran joins? Simple question, for your simple mind!
