Geoffrey I would like you do a fare comparison between PER-KTA and BNE-TVS.
Pretty much the same distance, 737's although most of the flights are now operated by "low cost" F100 or B717 on the KTA route, you get to pay $650+ one way on Sunday afternoon economy. Are you trying to say it is airport charges? While on the east coast they get $129 airfares sometimes, those will never be seen in the NW of WA.
KTA,NWN,PHE are all getting screwed by VA and QF compared to what they are charging for same distance flights on the east coast. Can you please get the airlines to explain this.
