I went to London from Ipswich the other day - £40.10 return (off peak). I'm flying Stansted to Budapest next week - £36 return.

Are any airlines still pricing round trips for domestic flights?

Every airline I have flown in the last few years prices domestic flights now as one way's and have done away with discounted round trips.

You put in your city pairs, dates and then they bring up a list of one ways for the outward and you choose the one way you want, then you choose the return from a list of flights.

Can't recall the last airlines on domestic flights were still discounting round trips.


I don't even see an advantage to buying a round trip on a domestic flight.

the first 2 are when priced as a round trip. The 3rd is when priced as a one way, the fares are the same.

Seems these days buying a round trip your just paying for a leg you don't need and might be paying more.....

I dunno. I haven't bought a domestic flight in more than 13 years, other than business flights through my employer's travel booking software, but it is true, it comes up as paired single flights, not a round trip, though IIRC, the price seems to be the greater of the two flights' prices, not the sum of them. So I'm not sure.
