25Sorry but I have to ask: is this an actual question or just a rant?– JoErNanO ♦Commented Oct 26, 2016 at 17:01

18@JoErNanO I want to know WHY the cost is higher for international specifically compared to domestic.– Lemuel GulliverCommented Oct 26, 2016 at 17:03

14Based on the screenshot, I'm not sure you're comparing like with like. You look to be comparing a non-refundable not-really-changable economy ticket with a fully-flexible refundable first class ticket. What happens if you search 6-9 months out, when non-flexible business and first seats are still available for sale?– GagravarrCommented Oct 26, 2016 at 18:42

23To put it another way, if $19,500 is "almost prohibitively" expensive, then the airline is thrilled with itself, as its managed to find someone to pay that price, but isn't leaving much money on the table.– Zach LiptonCommented Oct 26, 2016 at 19:58

7A lot of great answer so only a comment. At the high end you have customers that may be traveling private domestically. Not all private planes have the range for international.– paparazzoCommented Oct 26, 2016 at 20:51

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. air-travel), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
