This is a very good point, currently deciding between an ex CAI to west coast or ex EU to HNL run. The CAI option is a few hundred cheaper and appears to give the better £/Tp ratio, however with the positioning flights at nearly £1200 for CAI compared to a third of that for, say BUD, the better value all in is actually the ex EU to HNL option.
