In-Country Flight Chatter

This chatter today about jet fuel taxes going up on inside-of-Germany fuels?  Well, the Greens are pushing it, and I'd give it a 70-percent chance of passing (maybe toward the end of the year being implemented).

If you tried to fly from Munich to Hamburg.....the tax would be inserted.  If you flew from Hamburg to Amsterdam.....it wouldn't be inserted.  Crazy?

Well, here's the funny thing.  If you lived in Frankfurt and wanted to fly to Berlin....it'd end up being cheaper to fly from Frankfurt to Lux City, then onto Berlin.  If you lived in Munich and wanted to fly to Hamburg, it'd be cheaper to arrange the flight from Munich to Vienna, then onto Hamburg.  If you lived in Berlin, and wanted a flight to Koln?  It'd be cheaper to fly onto Brussels, and flip to the next Koln flight.
