I’m looking into spending 6 weeks in BA early next year… the flight down from NY is like $700 but all the flights back to the US start at $1,700… is it always like that? Seems a little absurd

    Flights too and from BA from the US are expensive.

    Why?

    Because unlike flights to Europe or Asia which cross many time zones, flights from the US to BA only cross 1-2 time zones.

    Because of the long flight time and not crossing many time zones, the airplane has more down time and cannot be flown as much versus Europe when the airplane lands at a time when it can be used for the next flight right away.
