Twice as expensive to fly from IAH vs. DFW?
I know airfare pricing is crazy but how can essentially the same trip (IAH-SIN then HKG-IAH vs DFW-SIN then HKG-DFW, both in J, same dates) vary so much in price from cities relatively close to one another? The flights from IAH are more than twice as much! Both cities have the same competitor (Qatar) flying from their airports.
Anyone have any idea?

I have heard reports that the DFW flight always has a very light load other then peak travel times, so perhaps they are trying to gain more customers from there by offering lower prices?
IAH on the other hand has the oil businesses which keep the flights at pretty good loads for the most part, which is why they charge more.
Also, doesn't EY fly to Dallas? So they have more competition from there.
