Right? It don't make no sense. Here's one theory. You can get to Chicago on probably any airline, creating a lot of competition on pricing. But there are probably only one or two that go to Alaska so no competitive pricing. Capitalism fails us again comrade
Chicago is a hub for a couple of big airlines. Pete's economic analysis is 100% accurate. You can fill seats going from a huge airport to a huge airport pretty easily - therefore you have competition. Not too many people go to Cordova so they can charge you almost whatever they want and they need to get back their costs. I got a flight from LAX to New York for $92. It cost more to get from New York to Providence for the second leg.
