The only price that changes depending on how badly you need it to not.
means The cost of a ticket to travel somewhere by plane.
from A straightforward compound: 'air' (flight, aviation, from Greek 'aer') plus 'fare,' an old word for the price of a journey. 'Fare' traces back to Old English 'faran,' meaning to travel or go — the same root that gives us 'farewell,' literally 'go well.' So a fare was originally just the act of journeying, then shifted to mean what you paid for the privilege. 'Airfare' simply updates that old travel-cost word for the jet age.
