The airline Air France reveals its prices for December, but travelers hoping for savings may be surprised by high prices on certain routes.
The end of the year is a period marked by high demand for flights, particularly to Algeria, where many travelers go to spend the holidays with their loved ones. This increase in demand is often accompanied by a significant increase in ticket prices, making travel arrangements more complex for many families. Faced with this situation, the prices charged by airlines, such as Air France, still arouse keen interest, as travelers seek to find the best options for their travel.
Is Air France doing better than Air Algérie?
If some travelers are considering fleeing Air Algérie in the hope of finding more attractive rates with Air France, they risk being disappointed. Indeed, the French airline has also adjusted its prices, particularly on the most popular destinations between France and Algeria. As the end-of-year holidays approach, a period marked by high demand, the prices of the two carriers reflect this general increasing trend.

Spain: here is what will change for travelers from this Monday
By analyzing the prices displayed by Air France for the school holiday period, which coincides with the end-of-year holidays, we see that prices remain high, reflecting the strong demand on routes between France and Algeria. For example, for a round trip between Paris and Algiers, with a departure on December 25 and a return on January 3, tickets are offered at 174 euros one way and 350 euros returna total of 524 euros.
On the Marseille-Algiers line, prices rise to 276 euros for the outward journey and 352 euros for the returnthus reaching 628 euros. These prices, although variable depending on the departure city, confirm a notable increase in prices for this strategic period. Air France, like Air Algérie, adapts its prices to the high influx of travelers, particularly Algerian families living in France who wish to spend the holidays in their country of origin.
Finally, for the Lyon-Algiers connection, you will have to pay 206 euros for the outward journey and 383 euros for the returnor a total of 589 euros. For travelers looking for the lowest fares, it is possible to find tickets for less than 150 euros on the Air France website using the option Light Economy. This formula, the most economical, excludes checked baggage, which explains its reduced price. Thus, passengers traveling only with cabin baggage can benefit from particularly competitive rates.

On the other hand, as soon as checked baggage is added to the reservation, the cost of the ticket increases significantly, sometimes reaching several hundred additional euros.
If ticket prices between France and Algeria skyrocket during the end-of-year holiday period, an observation is however observed on the Air France website from the end of January. This trend is explained by a reduction in demand once the school holidays are over and the start of the school year is well underway.
