Exactly. While a "round trip" may cost you, say, $250 in fare, that does not mean each half was $125. You could have got an outbound at $50 and an inbound at $200. Conditions require that you purchase a round-trip to take advantage of these fares, but that does not mean they were the same.

Make sense?
