It seems that you can get award seats (US -> Europe) fairly easily transatlantic, but it's really tough to get them coming back.
Is this because there's a net influx of people into the US (and all frequent Flyers to boot

), or is it the case that the airlines are more restrictive on inventory coming this way?
If so, why?
I think it must have something to do with the
Coriolis effect. Probably the same reason for why it is so much more expensive to call home from Europe than it is to call Europe from home.
