Short and Long-Haul Flight Examples Explored

Flight Sample: Amsterdam to Berlin (Economy)

I looked into different dates for short-haul flights and discovered several options for only 5,625 Miles one way starting January 24th (see screenshot below). It’s critical to account for the additional $74+ in taxes and surcharges, so weigh your options to determine whether they are feasible. Sometimes it’s just better to pay in cash. Paying in cash without additional fees may be a simpler and more cost-effective option, especially when the mileage cost is low but there are high taxes and surcharges. Think about what works best for you and how much value you want from your trip. Always use Google Travel to compare prices for the best results.
