I don't live in either Europe or the USA, but when I have to fly within each, I find Europe air fares all-in, shockingly high in comparison, esp on a per km/mile basis, so resorting to the train (which also isn't exactly cheap anymore) is often more expedient there. Of course, not really an option for most long-distance USA travel. I don't "do" LCC's in either location so I can't use that as a basis for comparison--and at any rate the total capacity of LCC seats as a % of what's on offer per region is relatively small and therefore probably isn't the best pricing to use for comparisons. Maybe one's perception is colored by the specific routes they usually need to fly, and how often one can find a "deal" for their city pairs.
