Small is beautiful - at least for air groups

If you are flying with a no-frills airline, you need to know that their pricing structure is the opposite of what you might expect - as your group increases in size, so the price per ticket goes up!

To give you an idea of what I mean, I have just checked easyJet's price for a round trip from Gatwick to Berlin, flying out at 06h40 on 09 June and returning at 18h30 on 13 June.

For one person, the fare is £105.74 return

for 10, it is £115.24 each

for 20, £130.59 each and

for 30, £150.21 each.

So, in a group of 30, the fare per person is more than 40 percent higher than for an individual traveller.

This was a random choice of destination and dates, but you will find the pattern repeated for all flights, and not just with easyJet, but with all the no-frills carriers.
