DOH rather than DXB
Your logic regarding Romania and Bulgaria being incorrect seems very plausible.
Looking at other possibilities for AONE3s now that CAI is out of the picture, Doha, Qatar (DOH) would seem a good bet at c. US$7,142, BUT Dubai (DXB), which was previously a good starting point, has gone up to c. US$8,574. Why the huge difference? They are both roughly the same distance from LHR. Is there another anomaly here as well?
