Once again and just because you do not understand - THE EU IS NOT A COUNTRY. It is a conglomeration of countries all with their own leaders, rules, regulations, ability to levy tariffs for overflights, and most importantly their own ability to negotiate treaties. You need a serious lesson in geography and civics.
Get rid of the royal family. Get rid of the Pound and start using the Euro only, limit the power of Parliament, ratify the various treaties of the EU and subjugate your borders (and indeed your entire way of life) to the rule of the EU, then you will be the same as the US and can compare flying between countries in the EU with flying between states in the US. Until then you are comparing apples to oranges.
