This is the case, for example, for the city of Marrakech, where a round trip from Paris currently costs 313 euros, or 2% less than last year.
Please note, however, that this downward trend does not concern all destinations. If air ticket prices remain generally stable compared to 2023 for most short and medium-haul destinations, certain cities such as Porto (+14%) and Tunis (+19%) are seeing their prices soar.
To avoid unpleasant surprises, experts recommend finalizing your reservations as quickly as possible. “Beyond the next two weeks, there is a significant risk of paying much more,” warns Eva Fouquet, vice-president of Kayak.fr, quoted by the newspaper The Parisian.

After Covid, airlines increased their prices to recover financially. But today, this strategy seems to be reaching its limits. “The nest egg no longer necessarily exists and you cannot increase prices forever,” observes Eva Fouquet.
This summer, some companies even had to sell off their tickets to fill their planes. For the end-of-year holidays, demand is strong, particularly for long-haul flights such as Bangkok and New York.
There is no miracle recipe for finding the best prices, other than booking early and choosing your travel dates carefully. Saturday December 21, the busiest day, is also the most expensive. Leaving on December 31 allows you to save on European and non-European flights.
