May I introduce an example to better understand your logic.
A car manufacturer sells the same type of cars in the US and in the UK. The price of the car is in the US 75k$ versus in the UK100k$ (the numbers are approximately representing reality for a specific car). You are implying that the car manufacturer has not the right to give priority to the UK market, where he has a higher margin, than to the US market. You are implying that the car manufacturer has to handle deliveries exactly according incoming orders. DREAM ON LAD!
As a car manufacturer has the right to decide which market he serves with priority, an airline may also take the right to sell the seats to a market with higher prices. An airline - in contrast to a car manufacturer - even states in its fare rules, that it is taking the freedom to do so.

If you still believe there is a chance to win in court, please go on and sue them. Please let me know the outcome.
