In 2025, March had the lowest average fare (€68.30) across all carriers, while August peaked at €220.50.

Hidden Fees to Avoid

Booking.com adds a 14.5% "taxes and fees" charge at checkout not visible in search results—this pushed my €85 easyJet fare to €97.23. Ryanair’s €18.50 baggage fee applies to all bookings unless purchased during the initial reservation. I paid €18.50 extra on March 15, 2025, because I missed the pre-booking window.
