i was checking online for a ticket to Scotland from Tampa, Fl for next June. the prices were pretty high, from 800 to 1200 dollars - PLUS TAX - wich makes the price of the ticket 1200 to 1700 bucks!!
so i went on to a UK site to see what the same flight would cost if i was booking it there.
i found the identical flight - Tampa-Newark-Edinburgh, only in reverse - Edinburgh-Newark-Tampa.
well from Edinburgh it would cost me 700 dollars. and from the USA ................ 1788!!!!!
i kid you not, over 1000 dollars more for the same flight, on the same day!!!
i find this amazing. how can they have the audacity to charge more, a thousand dollars more, from American passenger than a UK passenger?

so i called the 800 number and got this explanation " well, sir. thats just the way the prices are set" and their was no-one there who could offer any explanation for this.

so this is just another example of how these wonderful American companies are ripping us off!!
i hope these executives have a lovely summer vacation, cause i wont!!
