Same here. Just bought tickets for SF -> NY -> London and back, and no matter how you slice it, you're paying a $500 "crossing the Atlantic" fee. SF -> NY hovers around $300-$350, but good luck finding a flight from NY -> UK for less than $1000, even though the flight is only 30% longer.
- rdouble 14y agoI've been planning a trip to Europe and flights to Heathrow and Barcelona from Tucson are < $1000 until Mid may. However, they all go through Atlanta or Houston instead of NY. Maybe it's a NY->UK premium? Strangely, the same flights direct from Houston or ATL to London are more than the ones from Tucson with layovers.
- JOnAgain 14y agoThis is actually known collusion by the airlines that's tolerated on both sides of the Atlantic because the airlines basically make no money anyway.
