Can someone please explain the airline pricing process to me. Maybe I'm dense, but I don't understand it.
1. A round-trip ticket from Frankfurt, Germany to Cincinnati, Ohio (both major Delta hubs) will run you $1,300 this year.
2. A multi-city trip including Frankfurt to Ohio, Ohio to the Washington, D.C. area then from Washington back to Frankfurt will cost a mere $1,084 when purchased through Delta.
I don't get it. How is it that the more I fly...the less I pay? The less I fly, the more I pay? I hate the airline industry.
I'm hoping that prices drop below the $1,000 mark. And when they do, I'm pouncing on my ticket home for the holidays.

Hey Pechvogel,
The airlines are run by insane clowns. Nothing else explains the Byzantine complexity of the rate structures. I can't wait until the cost of Sprit is so high that air travel will only be for the wealthy.
Nice to see a blog from another 'mercan in Germany. I've been here almost 20 years now. Always seems like there's too much to see and do to go home.
Later
