Thanks in advance for any responses!
This is nothing new, direct flights to/from hubs tend to be pricier, as opposed to non hubs. Suggest you search the term "hidden city booking". People book itineraries like that and drop the last segment. I don't recommend doing that as airlines frown upon that.
