Answer 1

I just found one for this price and there are many more like it I suppose it depends on the dates you are flying this is just an example.

Answer 2

Not sure I don't do flying but I guess if it's a popular destination, then 'lets rip them off' might apply...:)

Answer 3

Posh cow, flying in UK. Get on a train, or a coach.

Answer 4

It's a basic marketing strategy called supply and demand.

It is cheaper to fly from London to America than it is too fly from Glasgow to Stornoway (both in Scotland)

Answer 5

Tis 'cause teeside is special!

Answer 6

Surely it depends on the carrier and the airport you land in?

Answer 7

Yes, that's right - you pay more for less popular routes - this is why they can put special 'offers' on the well used routes with competition.
