💸 Since today, a very popular country has almost tripled its tax on plane tickets (for most routes to Canada; doubled for the others).

Europe, in general, is known for its very low taxes on plane tickets. Especially compared to Canada (just about every country in the world looks good compared to our taxes, which are factually among the world's highest). But it varies enormously by country, as almost everything does in Europe.

So prices will *eventually* go up if you buy roundtrip flights to France 🇫🇷!

Flytrippers often spots great deals to Paris, and these prices will remain available as the increased tax won't *necessarily* be passed on to travelers immediately.

Instead of €15 ($23) per ticket, the French tax is now €40 ($60)! It's in effect since this morning, March 1st. This increase applies to all flights over 5,500 km in distance, so almost all flights between Canada and France. A few exceptions are a bit shorter: Paris to Québec City, Halifax, and St. Johns; Nantes to Montreal. For those shorter flights, the lower tax level is €15 ($23) per ticket. For domestic and intra-Europe flights, the tax is now €7.40 ($11); for comparison, most domestic flights in Canada start with over $50 in taxes (here, it varies by airport).

Will this increase prices to France right away? It's not as obvious as sooooo many people seem to think it is.

It's pretty simple when you understand the basics of plane ticket prices, which clearly isn't the case for everyone considering the reactions to Canadian airlines' new carry-on baggage policies (it's normal not to know; it's a very complex and unique industry).

When you know the basics, you know that airlines already always charge the maximum amount travelers are willing to pay. Never less. They're experts at figuring out those prices.

Obviously, those prices and the market's capacity to pay more... that varies constantly based on so many factors. So airlines will obviously increase prices to recoup the tax as soon as they can, but the point is... they would already increase prices as soon as they can (even without the tax). They will always charge as much as they possibly can. That's how it works.

In fact, the airline most affected by this tax increase, Air France, has publicly announced to investors and the markets that the tax will cost them 100 million euros! If they would charge the entire tax to travelers, why would they lose money? Again, it's not rocket science: if airlines could just simply increase prices, THEY ALREADY WOULD!!!

It's very important to understand how plane ticket prices work if you want to become a pro at finding cheaper ones 😉!

✔️ Factually, flying on an airplane is incredibly safer than being in a car! 🚗

In 2023, we even got the 1st year in the history of aviation with absolutely NO fatal accidents involving a jet in the entire world. That great record streak even continued for almost a full 12 months more, until the very last week of December 2024 (when 2 fatal accidents unfortunately happened).

Even if in 2025 we've seen the 1st fatal accident on a U.S. airline in over 15 years and a scary accident in Toronto that could've been much worse, these stats remain extremely low compared to previous years! 〽️

You won't see "100,000 flights operated today without a problem" on the news because it's not negative. You won't see "2,000 people died in car accidents this year in Canada alone" because it's not spectacular and it's spread out better.

Yes, the last few weeks have been less good... but remember for context that there are 100,000 commercial flights EVERY DAY! Nearly 5 billion passengers were transported last year.

The risk of flying is so microscopic that it makes no sense to deprive yourself of the amazing joy of travel for that 🙌🗺️

🚆🇨🇦 300 km/hr high-speed train between Toronto and Québec City!

The Government of Canada confirmed the development of a high-speed train today. The project has been named ALTO. Fun fact: Air Canada is a member of the chosen consortium to build this.

The project cost could reach 100 BILLION dollars!

By using new dedicated exclusive tracks, it would be possible to do Toronto-Montreal in 3 hours, Toronto-Ottawa in 2 hours, Montreal-Ottawa in 1 hour, or Montreal-Québec City in 1.5 hours. Peterborough, Trois-Rivières, and Laval would also be served.

Do you believe this will really happen? If it does, would you use it to travel between these cities?

💺 Many think that first class and business class are the same, so it's good to learn the basics. Traveling in the 3 classes at the front of the plane for cheaper than economy class is so easy to do, especially if you're not necessarily interested in traveling more often!
