The Goal is always to find a reasonable priced Ticket WITH available Crate Space for Animals in Hold (AVIV) or Cabin Space for Animal in Cabin.
Aegean only allows 8 Crate Spaces per Flight ( as far as I know) and only 5 per Ticket.
For example if an Organization pre-booked 5 Crates, I would only be able to book/reserve 3 on that same Flight.
If I book early enough and we’ll in advance, I can find affordable Tickets with (hopefully) Crate space.
Once the cheaper priced Tickets are gone, Prices increase.
I have seen Price Increases of up to €80.00 from 1 day to the next for the same Ticket-class and Flight.
(Yesterday €104.00, today SAME Ticket €187.00).
On average, if I book early enough, I can get away with a Ticket share Amount of €60.00 to €80.00, depending on the actual Ticket Price.
If I book Short Notice, Ticket Price would be much higher and so would the Ticket share Price.
Ticket share Price also needs to include some of my Expenses. I need to get to and from Airport (both in Cyprus and Germany), parking fees, and optional overnight stay IF no same day Return Flight is available.
