How would they pay the staff and for the cost of fuel and upkeep of the plane if we paid $14? The airport tax is more than that.

Can you foresee living here when you're 70 years old? Will the healthcare situation be sorted out? Will you be able to afford it?

If not, can you foresee a life living in the UK with your kids and grandkids here?

Yes, you should look that far into the future.
I've already told mine to get their MD because I'm coming to stay when I'm old

its more than likely a last minute type of thing... essentially if the flight is going anyways then it behooves them to sell as many seats as possible, empty seats can't make money, the dollybirds are already paid to service a full plane, the planes budget is already setup to take a full plane... may as well fill it even if all you do is break even or make a quid profit..

its the same principle as package holidays... the company has already paid for it... so selling it at 800quid per person in Jan & 100 quid in August... from their point of view both are good.

It will still cost more than that for the security checks...especially if the seats are booked within 7 days of departure.

all flights are advertised as the cost of the flight itself ... we've all experienced it... LA to NY for $150 plus whatever taxes, extras and first borns we want.
