I don't understand the way airlines price things either. For example, round trip from Minneapolis to SJO is roughly $600 on Continental (well, it was before these bogus fuel surcharges) while round trip from houston is $500. It's almost the same distrance from MPLS to houston as it is from houston to SJO.


Let me 'splain if possible:

Let's say they charged you $600 for MSP-HOU-SJO.

Let's say they charged someone in HOU $200-$300 for HOU-SJO.

Very soon, you would see no availability to purchase a ticket MSP-HOU-SJO because all the seats from HOU-SJO would be sold to HOU locals.

Any "hub" has to protect the connection flight or they can't make the sale for the longer flight...no seats! Savvy? :?: :wink:
