Ukuhamba kwexabiso eliphantsi: ngaba ibhabhu sele liza kugqabhuka?

Yonke imiqondiso ibonisa ukuba uhambo olungenaxabiso luyaphela. Kodwa ungayeki iholide yalo nyaka, utsho uNick Trend: isenokuba lithuba lakho lokugqibela lekhefu ngexabiso elifanelekileyo.

"Awuzange ulunge kangako": leyo yayingumxholo wethu wephepha eliphambili kweli candelo kwisithuba esingaphezulu konyaka odlulileyo xa ndandigxininisa ixabiso elihle kakhulu lokuba nabahambi bazo zonke iintlobo.

Iindleko zomoya, isikhephe kunye nexabiso kaloliwe, iindleko zokuqesha imoto, kunye neeprimiyamu ze-inshurensi- zonke beziphantsi ngendlela ebabazekayo kunamaxabiso ekwakukudala siwahlawula kwiminyaka elishumi ngaphambili. Nokuba amaxabiso otshintshiselwano lwangaphandle abekhangeleka enomtsalane ngeli xesha kulo nyaka uphelileyo: iponti yayixabisa i-1.41 yeedola kunye ne-US $ 1.92, ngenxa yoko uninzi lweehotele kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezikwilizwekazi zazitshiphu kakhulu kunakwimilinganiselo yazo yase-Bhritane, kwaye i-United States ibonelela ngexabiso elihle lemali.

Amaxabiso awazange abephantsi ngokweyona nyani, kwaye abahambi zange bawaxhamle amathuba amaninzi kunye neendidi ezinjalo. Iminyaka eli-10 eyintloko besele siqhelile ukubhatala imali yomoya, ngamanye amaxesha, ibiphantsi kunexabiso lokuya kwintwasahlobo nganye besinikwa ukhetho olukhulu ngakumbi lweendawo kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sasekuhlaleni. Kwaye sasinesiqeshiso esitsha sokuzimela, sathakazeliswa yi-intanethi kunye nembono yokuba sinokonga imali nangakumbi ngokusika umqhubi kunye nokubhukisha ngqo.

Kodwa ngaba amaxesha amnandi sele eza kuphela? Ngaba besidanisa sinxilile kumgangatho wenqanawa yeTitanic usiya kwi-iceberg?

Kubonakala kuqinisekile ukuba ithamsanqa lethu liyaphela. Kusekho intengiselwano ngexabiso eliphantsi ngalo mzuzu, kodwa ngeli hlobo inokuba lithuba lethu lokugqibela lokonwabela iiholide zokuthengiselana, ngaphambi kwempembelelo epheleleyo yamaxabiso eoyile anyukayo kunye neponti ebuthathaka ehlasela ishishini lokuhamba. Ke, ukuba usenakho ukuyifumana, musa ukurhoxisa izicwangciso zakho zokuhamba kulo nyaka-zisebenzise uninzi lwazo.

Amafu esichotho ebeqokelelene kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo. Okokuqala, ixabiso leponti laqala ukwehla. Ukusukela ngeli xesha kulo nyaka uphelileyo, iwele malunga ne-1.20, oko kuthetha ukuba, kubahambi base-Bhritane, amaxabiso e-EU anyuke ngempumelelo phantse ngeepesenti ezingama-20. Idola ihlale ixabiseke kakhulu, kodwa ngoku kukho enye into ebanjiweyo.

Iindleko zeoyile ziye zaqala ukuba nefuthe elibi kwiindleko zokuhamba-ngakumbi kwimali yokuya kwindawo ende njenge-United States. Kubonakala ngathi kukho ukunyuka okutsha veki nganye. Intombi enyulu inyuse amaxabiso ayo kathathu ukusukela ngoMeyi 7. Iitotali zokubuya kweenqwelomoya (kubandakanya ukhuseleko kunye ne-inshurensi) zinyuke ukusuka kwi- £ 111 (£ 133 kwiinqwelomoya ezingaphezu kweeyure ezili-10) ukuya kwi- £ 161 (£ 223 ukuba ngaphezulu kweeyure ezili-10) .

Uqoqosho lwePremiyamu kunye nabagibeli abakumgangatho oPhezulu ngoku kufuneka bahlawule nangaphezulu- ukuya kuthi ga kwi-271 ye- £ 10 ukubuyisela ngaphezulu kwiinqwelomoya ngaphezulu kweeyure ezili-60 kwiklasi ephezulu. Kwiiveki ezimbini ezidlulileyo, iBritish Airlines yaphakamisa amaxabiso ayo kwakhona - ukunyuka kwamva nje kongeza enye i- $ XNUMX ukubuyela kwiindleko zeenqwelomoya ezininzi ezinde.

Iinkampani zokuloba kunye neenqanawa ziye zabethwa, nazo. NgoLwesihlanu ophelileyo iSpeedFerries inyuse imali yokuhamba kwinkonzo yayo iDover-Boulogne ngama-50 epesenti- ukusuka kwi- £ 36 ukuya kwi- £ 54 ukubuya, icacisa ukunyuka kwexabiso lamafutha ukusuka kwi-10p ukuya kwi-60p ilitha njengesizathu. Kwaye njengoko sasisiya kucinezela i-Oceania Cruises yonyusa umrhumo wamafutha wayo ukuya kwi- £ 7 ngondwendwe ngosuku ngalunye ukubhukisha okutsha ukusukela nge-16 kaJuni.

Kodwa ubuncinci oku kunyuka kwamaxabiso kubekwa kuphela kubhukisho olutsha. Ukuba sele ulithengile itikiti lakho, awuzukuhlawula ngaphezulu. Ayinyani le nto ngeeholide zephakheji. Inani labaqhubi bezokhenketho abaceba ukunyanzelisa i-surcharges kweli hlobo liyanda ngokuzinzileyo. Amalungu angama-26 oMbutho weeBritish Travel Agents kunye neeTour Operators sele efake izicelo zokuqalisa ukumisela izityholo kubathengi esele bebhukishe kwaye bahlawulele iiholide zabo.

Unokunyanzelwa ukuba uhlawule isixa semali, okanye uphulukane neholide yakho ngokupheleleyo. Ngaphantsi kwemithetho ye-EU abaqhubi bezokhenketho bavunyelwe ukuhlawulisa abathengi ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ezilishumi ngaphezulu ngeholide yabo ukuba iindleko (zepetroli yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya okanye imali yelinye ilizwe, umzekelo) zinyuka emva kokubhukishwa kweholide. (Banokwenza njalo emva kweentsuku ezingama-10 ngaphambi kokumka nje ukuba bayakufumana iipesenti ezimbini zokuqala zolonyuso.)

Kuphela kuxa umphathi wezokhenketho ezama ukunyusa ixabiso ngaphezulu kwepesenti ezilishumi unelungelo lokurhoxisa iholide yakho kwaye ufumane imbuyiselo epheleleyo. Ngaphandle koko, phantsi kweemeko zokubhukisha, unokunyanzelwa ukuba uhlawule okanye uphulukane.

Ezinye iindleko zikhuphuke ngokuthe chu, njengoko abahambi bebonwa njengeethagethi ezilula koorhulumente nakwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya ezijonge ukunyusa ingeniso eqinisekisiweyo.

I-BAA, umzekelo, ivunyelwe ukuba inyuse intlawulo eyenzayo kwiinkampani zeenqwelomoya (ethi yona idluliselwe kubagibeli njengenxalenye yomoya) eHeathrow ngama-23.5 epesenti ukusukela kunyaka ophelileyo. Oku kuthatha intlawulo ngomkhweli ngamnye ukuya kwi- £ 12.80. Iya kuvunyelwa ukuba inyuse iirhafu zayo nge-7.5 yepesenti ngaphezulu kokunyuka kwamaxabiso kunyaka ngamnye kule minyaka mine izayo.

I-BAA ikukhusela oku ngokuthi imali iyafuneka kutyalo-mali olubalulekileyo kwisiseko sezikhululo seenqwelomoya kunye neendleko zokhuselo.

Trailfinders, ingcali yenqwelomoya, inika ingxelo yokuba inani elinyukayo lexabiso lentengiso eliyithengisayo lenziwe ngerhafu kunye neentlawulo. Inginike umzekelo wendlela yokubuyela yangoku ye- £ 385.70 enikezela eNew York ngeBritish Airways. Intlawulo yomoya ngokwawo iyi- $ 136, kodwa ngelixesha kuye kwongezwa iintlawulo ezilishumi ezinyanzelekileyo- kubandakanya i- £ 10 yase-UK yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya, i- £ 40 yerhafu yabakhweli yase-US, i- £ 15.60 yeerhafu zase-UK kunye ne- £ 19.70 yamafutha kunye Iintlawulo ezongezelelweyo zokhuseleko-intlawulo yokugqibela umkhweli ahlawulayo iphantse iphindwe kathathu.

Iinqwelo-moya ze-no-frills azisebenzisi iintlawulo ngendlela efanayo; bakhetha ukuhlengahlengisa imali yabo ngeyure ngokweendleko zabo kunye nemfuno yezihlalo. Kodwa kunyaka ophelileyo baqalisile ukwenza ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya kubiza kakhulu kuye nakubani na ofuna ukuhamba nemithwalo, ukuqiniseka ngokuhlala nosapho lwabo okanye abo uhamba nabo, okanye abangakwaziyo ukungena kwi-Intanethi.

Umzekelo, xa ubuya ngenqwelomoya eMarseilles kunye neRyanair ezinye zeepawundi ezingama-45 zerhafu kunye neentlawulo sele zibandakanyiwe kwindleko. Uya kuhlawula enye i- $ 24 (kubandakanya umrhumo wokungena kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya) ukuba ufuna ukukhangela engxoweni emilenzeni yomibini, enye i- £ 8 yokukhwela kuqala, kunye ne- £ 6.40 yomgibeli ngamnye ukuba uhlawula ngekhadi letyala.

Asibandezeleki kungekuphela kukunyuka kweendleko. Kubonakala ngathi ukhetho kunye nokwahluka kwezinto ekubonelelwe ngazo kunokuba sesichengeni. Ezinye iindlela sele ziqalisile ukuhamba. Kwiiveki ezimbini ezidlulileyo i-DFDS ibhengeze ukuba izakuwuphelisa umsebenzi wayo wokuhamba ngesikebhe eNewcastle-Norway ngo-Septemba, icaphula iindleko eziphezulu zepetroli kunye nokwehla kwezoqoqosho njengezizathu eziphambili. Emva koko iRyanair yabhengeza ukuba, nangona inomdla wokuqhubeka nokwandisa iindlela zayo, iya kuba isisiseko seenqwelomoya ezingama-20 kwiinyanga ezizolileyo zobusika, kuba bekungabizi kakhulu ukuzigcina zingasetyenziswanga kunenkonzo.

E-United States, edla ngokuba yi-barometer yento eza kwenzeka apha, i-Continental Airlines isandula ukubhengeza ukuba yehlisa amandla ngeepesenti ezili-11, ngelixa i-United Airlines ibeka iinqwelomoya zayo ezilikhulu.

Kwiintsuku ezilishumi ezidlulileyo, uGiovanni Bisignani, umlawuli-jikelele we-IATA (uMbutho weZothutho woMoya weHlabathi), uxele kwangaphambili ukuba ishishini lokubhabha ngenqwelomoya liza kulahla i-US $ 2.3 yezigidigidi kulo nyaka-mali.

Ucacisile ukuba, kwihlabathi liphela, Iinqwelo-moya ezingama-24 zihambe kakhulu kwezi nyanga zintandathu zidlulileyo, kwaye ulindele ukuba ezinye zingene.

Ezintandathu kwezo nqwelomoya yayiyiBritane okanye yabhabha yaya kwizikhululo zaseBritane. Baquka "iklasi yoshishino" abathwali MAXJet kunye Eos, kunye ne-Hong Kong-based no-frills airline Oasis.

Okwangoku asikaziboni naziphi na iindlela ezibalulekileyo eziwe ziinqwelomoya. Kodwa baya kuziva ngokucacileyo i-pinch. Kwiveki ephelileyo, iRyanair ibanga ukuba yeyona ndawo isebenzayo kwaye ibekwe ngendlela eyiyo ukujongana namaxabiso aphezulu epetroli. Kodwa ikwavumile ukuba, ukuba amaxabiso eoyile ahlala ephezulu, kunyaka olandelayo uzakubona umndilili wokukhwela unyuka malunga neepesenti ezintlanu kwaye inqwelomoya ayinakwenza ngcono kunokuqhekeza.

Ke zinokuba nzulu kangakanani izinto? Ixesha lokugqibela ukudodobala koqoqosho okukhulu kwishishini lezokuhamba, ngo-1991, omnye wabaqhubi babakhenkethi abakhulu- i-Intasun- kunye nenqwelomoya ehamba phambili kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali- i-Air Yurophu- yaphuma kwishishini. Amawakawaka abakhweli abhadula phesheya okanye aphulukana nemali.

Nangona imeko namhlanje ingenakuthelekiswa, imihlola ayilunganga. Singaba nethamsanqa- mhlawumbi ixabiso leoyile liza kubuya umva, okanye mhlawumbi ukhuphiswano kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kweenqwelomoya ezininzi zaseBritane ziya kwenza ukuba bonke abaqhubi abaphambili bakwazi ukusinda. Kodwa kuya kufuneka bajonge nzima ukuba zeziphi iindlela ekufanele ukuba zigcinwe, kwaye zeziphi ekufuneka zishiyiwe.

Inye into eqinisekileyo- ukuba amaxabiso e-oyile ahlala ephezulu, iponti ihlala ibuthathaka kwaye uqoqosho luyadamba, siza kubona ukuphela kweeholide ezininzi zothethathethwano kunye nohambo olunqabileyo esilonwabileyo kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo.

Okona kubi ngokuqinisekileyo kuseza. Ukusa kwinqanaba elithile ukuza kuthi ga ngoku sikhutshiwe kwiimpembelelo zokunyuka kweendleko kuba iinkampani ezininzi zokuhamba zithenga amafutha kunye nemali kwangaphambi kwexesha. Xa iinqwelomoya kunye nabaqhubi kufuneka bethethathethane ngezivumelwano ezintsha, baya kujongana neendleko eziphezulu kakhulu.

Kwaye oko kunokuthetha into enye kuthi. Kanye njengokuba kubuhlungu ngoku qho xa ugcwalisa imoto, kuya kuba buhlungu nangakumbi xa ubhukisha iholide yonyaka olandelayo.

Ke yenza uninzi lwayo ngo-2008.
