I am hoping this flips the script, as you said.
Ah the fares I used to use were ex-Philippines, they were full flex though so I could just book whatever and then change later when I knew when I needed to be back in Manila next. The reverse ex-USA was always quite a bit higher when I was doing that on a regular basis. I only bought ex-USA once though from a consolidator just to start the chain and then kept them going on the ex-CEB R/T fares.
