Airline’s fair pricing policy

Can Emirates airline’s representatives in Malta please explain the following?

The “normal” price for an economy two-week return flight from Rome to Dubai for two persons in March is €1,068.68. Same flight, same dates, same time scale from Malta is €1,238.96.

But it gets worse!

The “normal” price for an economy three-week return flight from Rome to Cape Town for two persons in June is €1,298.06. Same flight, same dates, same time scale from Malta is a whopping €2,032.34 – nearly a 60 per cent increase in cost.

And Australia, a favourite Malese location, is the same. A three-week economy return for two people to Sydney from Rome in April is €1,894.32 whereas from Malta the same dates, time scale and flight is €2,660.60! Nearly €800 more expensive!

Maybe the response from Emirates as to why they are charging people living in Malta such premium prices is simply “because we can!”

Hopefully, people will take note and ignore Emirates from Malta, especially on long haul.
