That's half a year's salary for a LOT of people, damn right it's expensive
Not a lot. Several percent, maybe.
EDIT: not a lot of people is what I meant. Most earn much, much less.
I actually can't tell if you're being serious or not...
Are you..?
Average salary in my city is ~$60k. $20k for a flight is ludicrous.
The world is not just USA.
You're right, it's even worse economically in many places.
And better in others.
And yet there's no where that $20k USD is a reasonable amount
That makes you even more wrong as 20k USD is quite expensive.
That's what I've been stressing in the first place!
I live in Canada, so...
Doesn't have anything to do with $20k being absurd, but...
