I get "markets" and "demand" but this is bananas. ADD an additional international flight at ticket price goes down by 82% or $1,090.
Totally bonkers
OGG-DEN: They're the only nonstop, so they have a competitive advantage.
OGG-YYZ: Lots of different one stop options you can take, UA lacks a competitive advantage.
Airline revenue management: make money where you have advantages, take what you can get everywhere else.
