The end-of-year holidays see a surge in demand for flights and an increase in prices. For many members of the Algerian diaspora in France, this means taking a plane to join their loved ones. However, this year again, the prices of flights between France and Algeria have seen a significant increase.
The reasons for the surge in plane ticket prices are multiple and directly impact travelers’ budgets. However, the main reason for this increase is high seasonal demand. School holidays coincide with the end-of-year celebrations, which leads to a large influx of travelers wishing to spend the holidays in Algeria. This increase in demand automatically translates into an increase in prices.
Furthermore, the flight offer is often limited during these periods, which increases prices even further. Airlines are taking advantage of this situation to adjust their prices upwards. Moreover, several airlines serving routes between France and Algeria display exorbitant prices.

Prices hit the ceiling
Air Algérie, the national company, which is a preferred option for many travelers, in particular thanks to its extensive network and its often competitive prices, displays tickets at nearly 700 euros for an Algiers-Paris round trip for the end of the ‘year. A Marseille-Algiers round trip from December 20 to January 5 costs around €400, which is relatively more affordable compared to the Paris-Algiers line. Tickets from the north of France are among the most expensive, with prices reaching €700 for similar dates.
Transavia, a low-cost subsidiary of Air France, which also offers flights to Algeria, with generally more attractive prices, displays a round trip between Paris-Orly and Algiers at more than €500 for trips from December 20 to January 3. Finally, Air France is offering a return flight from Marseille to Algiers for more than €900 for the end of the year, a price much higher than those offered by Air Algérie or Transavia.
How to find cheap flights?
However, faced with this increase, it is possible to find plane tickets at more attractive prices by adopting a few tips. First of all, it is recommended to book your tickets as early as possible. Airlines often put discounted tickets on sale several months in advance.
Then, being flexible on travel dates can allow you to benefit from more advantageous rates. It is recommended to avoid peak periods such as weekends or public holidays. Finally, it may be wise to compare offers from different airlines using online flight comparators.
