Of course the trip is not free. But a plane ticket from NYC-Japan is quite expensive. If the airfare is "free," maybe I could take two trips for the price that I would've had to pay for one. Or I can take my girlfriend on a nice trip once a year without incurring costs that are too much for our very limited budgets as college students.
