Europe->US Costs Twice as Much as US->Europe?

I'm looking at taking a flight from OKC to London in June and the tickets are roughly $610 each. I'm looking at flights for the trip back from Munich ideally and they're roughly twice the price at $1,200. I've checked other cities and dates (including London on the same departure date) and haven't found any under $1,100 yet. Why is this? Is there any way to get around it?

Did you try a return ticket instead of two one ways?

No, I hadn't. Thanks! I just tried a multi-city search on Hipmunk and it ends up being $200 less per person (x4)! I'm not sure if this is a "return ticket" or something else.

I see if I book a round-trip to London it's an additional $300 less per person! Ideally I'd like to fly back from Munich. Is there any way to do this and still have it be considered a "return ticket"? If not, I could probably fly from Munich to London for less than $300/person.

Also, my dates are flexible as well as the return airport. Is there a better site to use besides Hipmunk to search close dates/airports for multi-city flights?
