I know that every single opinion will have someone that holds the opposite, but I didn’t expect to see one for “flying is cheap” so quickly.

Can you explain your meaning or rationale? I’m guessing eco-/environment related?

Environment related, yes. But also the way government subsidies in EU give flights an unfair advantage over better methods of transport

Ryanair also jacked up their prices once they removed competitors from same routes.
