I don't know about that. PVD-EWR (random example) can usually had for $39 or $49 each way with advanced purchase... A transcon from PVD is usually $200+ each way.

So the transcon is roughly 4-5x more expensive than the short hop. Similarly, a 12.5k mile transcon is 5x more expensive than a 2.5k short hop.

This is a very specific example, but pricing doesn't look too wacky..
