I get the market forces here - I can tell you that five years ago it was quite different - Europe was far cheaper than beyond Europe routes that went through Europe.

My point is simply pointing out the change from the past - and also pointing the finger at the Gulf carriers, as the cheaper fares tend to be to places they fly.
