But it is true to say the price of some flights and some routes has taken off since the US and Israel launched their attack on Iran 10 days ago. Anyone travelling to Asia and Australia from Ireland in the weeks ahead will most likely have to avoid the hubs of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha. Already many flights on those routes are around 20 per cent dearer than two weeks ago and worse is coming. Jet fuel prices, which were between $85 and $90 ​(€73-€77) per barrel before the conflict are now between $150 and $200 (€128-171). That could see increased demand for short haul flights to popular sun destinations in southern Europe which could see prices climb.
