I agree that different countries should have different pricing scales. I just wish that China had a lower pricing scale then buying tickets in the US. I guess I got really spoiled by living in Bangkok for a few years. UA was always pretty Cheap to fly to PHL although for $700 USD to fly SQ to LAX or JFK UA wasn't always the only option. The good thing is that living in China I will be a Happy UA 1K as Northworst is not really an option.
