Question Why’s flying to Asia more expensive than the same distance but towards America?
I'm based in the Netherlands. And I've noticed this in the last few months: a 10hr flight into Asia is much more expensive than a 10hr flight towards America. In a nutshell: Going west is cheaper than going east. It seems to hold true regardless of the country or airport I chose. Does anyone know why this is? Thanks.
