I checked, it is not a load factor, it is consistent. Still curious ...
But LIM & YYZ are two different markets so why would the pricing be expected to be the same in each? Identical shoes from the same factory in China aren't going to be priced the same in LIM & YYZ due to varying market forces so why would airfares be different?
