Czech Airlines raises prices

Czech Airlines, the country's national carrier, will raise its prices starting on August 15, and this thanks to rising fuel costs. The new security and fuel surcharges will differ for travel within Europe which will see a fee of 550 crowns ($25 USD), and long-distance flights where the new fees will total 1475 crowns ($67 USD). Air France and KLM—both members of the Sky Team alliance to which CSA also belongs—also announced price hikes this week.
