Most people know that I am moving back to DC from Belgium in the coming months so I’ve been doing plenty of research. I am a researcher in general. Before the last car I bought, i compared and contrasted for about a year before I made a decision. I do this with most things. When it comes to the important things in life like where my kids will go to school, where we will live, what job I will have…using the word anal to describe me would be an understatement.
With the impending move, I started researching airfare. I will be traveling there by myself initially so I need a one-way ticket. A one-way ticket from Belgium to DC is $1200. A round trip ticket from Belgium to DC is $600. Hmmmm…which one do you think I’m going to buy?
I will be returning to Belgium at some point, but I will need a round-trip ticket then. I don’t understand why one way is twice as much as a round-trip ticket. Can anyone explain this logic to me?
. Airlines suck for doing this. One airline I’ve come across that doesn’t do this: Aer Lingus in Ireland. But I just wrote that so I can put “lingus” in your comments. There I did it again
