No they wont price competitive is a thing in the EU as well, The last year i Paid £28 each way for 2 people to fly to Berlin from Manchester, The flight home was cancelled at 1Am on the day of the flight and rebooked for the next day and then that was cancelled at 2am, so we rebooked there and then to fly to London and got trains home from gatewick to Manchester at the cost of £100 each.
Easyjet had to pay for the extra night in a hotel, a days extra food and the 2 £100 train tickets and the £800 in compensation (£200 per person per flight, for short haul) for not one but 2 cancelled flights.
Easyjet is still cheap and you can still fly to Berlin for super cheap if you book the day tickets come out. This idea that prices will have to rise, is just false information from the airlines, to try and get you on their side, and stop looking at the EU and how much better our lives our than those in America.
This socialist hell i live in is killing me softly but o so sweetly…
