Airlines dynamic surge pricing and profiting off geopolitical conflict and war evacuations is so disturbing to me. 8k for an economy flight that’s usually $500.

One way flights are the most expensive type of itinerary. Try a round trip and don't return like suggested. But they are absolutely raising prices because of what's happening.

Have you tried checking routes to other countries? Some countries slap a tax or expense on airlines depending on where they are coming from. We have a flight from Vancouver to New Zealand that was listed as $12k less than from SFO to New Zealand, and it connects through SFO on the same flights!

I did an apples to apples comparison - The same flight, same city, in a couple weeks is $500, but this wknd when people are trying to evacuate it’s 8k. I also saw one for 11k economy.

It’s due to dynamic pricing and it’s happening across airlines. It’s really sad…

We have this trying to get from Sydney to London. One way usually £700ish, currently £2200

65% of flights between Europe and Australia is via Gulf States

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
