The above data is skewed though because it only refers to legacy airlines, the big ones that are part of frequent flier alliances and in theory offer more services. What About Flight Prices From Budget Airlines? Frontier, Spirit, and Southwest fly there too. And yes, flying out of Mexico is cheaper still: they were #25 on the list at $10.78.įlights between Mexico and the USA can be quite a bargain, especially for routes served by the budget Mexican airlines. The United States was not a bargain at #30 ($11.50 per 100 kms), but that’s still half of Canada’s monopoly airline average. So yes, you probably would be better off crossing to Detroit from Toronto or Seattle from Vancouver. This time they climbed up to #65, with a cost of $23.90 per 100 kms. In a list of 75 countries, in 2016, they were #75 with a whopping cost per 100 kms of $94.66, which is 10 times the average in Spain or Germany. Who comes out on the bottom in this part of the world? Canada does, though it got slightly better one year to the next. Flight capacity in India is great and getting better all the time: one of the budget airlines there put in an order for 500 airplanes in 2023. If you’re doing a tour of Ladakh, for instance, flying up there from Delhi won’t cost you a lot and will save you a lot of time and hassle compared to the overland option. That’s important because a flight can literally cut a day or two off your travel time. Note that India is high on this list and not too far down on the budget airlines one below. The really long-haul routes are going to cost more. Assume that shorter hops within Europe probably bring the average down.
To put those numbers in a form that makes sense, a flight from New York to Stockholm (6300 kms) would be $438 each way, which is no great bargain. Note that about half these are in some of the cheapest destinations in the world, so you’ll benefit twice if you go there.
Some of these probably aren’t going to help you very much: who is flying in or out of Moldova? But obviously you’ll find a cheaper flight to Bulgaria than you will to, say, Chile ($53.53 per 100 kms). Countries With the Cheapest International Flights: The first year Kiwi did this report they included budget airlines, but this time they didn’t, so these are for full-service airlines. I looked at flight prices from the USA in another post, but for going country to country around the world, here’s who comes out on top for full-service airlines, along with the average price per 100 kilometers. (Just understand this data is from prior to the pandemic though, so it’s going to change according to whether borders are open or not.) They analyzed more than a million flights to get these figures.
It’s done with an easy measuring stick: the price per 100kms of flight distance. This Aviation Price Index from is the best report I’ve ever seen on average flight prices around the world. If we’re already going to be in Mexico, should we just buy the flight to South America there? We can see if a Canadian is better off crossing the border to the USA or flying out of Canada. Now that we have real data, we can figure out if it’s better to buy from home or from Bangkok. The only people who really had that data were the ones doing bookings every day-the travel agents that booked those round-the-world tickets we bought to game the system. In the olden days when I first started backpacking around the world, we had limited information on who had the cheapest flights. But the data is out there for someone who wants to take the time to crunch it. Which countries have the cheapest international flights? Well that depends on a lot of factors, including competition and which airlines are coming in and out.
