Thousands?? I didn't realize it was that expensive for you to go to Europe. Is it like some kind of export tax you guys are charging yourselves because I had always assumed you guys can fly for cheaper due to the sheer volume of flights.

Even from Vancouver to London, it looks like it's less than $600US. I live in Japan right now and I'm headed to Germany next week, which is costing me $1000 ish per family member and I think I have to pay for insurance to be able to stay in the Schengen area.

If you ever find a cheap flight to Okinawa, hit me up and I'll treat you to a beer!

The upper classes are the only ones that can afford to travel in the USA. And they look down on everyone else as uncultured swine for not doing so.

I never got on a plane until I was in college and my college paid for it. My first trip abroad to Germany was $5000, and the college paid for $5000 of it. I spent paid the other $1000 and incidentals and it wiped out two entire summers of employment worth of savings.

Most people in the USA are poor. The median wage is 60K for a family w two working adults. To travel w/ a family you have to be making closer to 250K/yr.

You just only meet rich americans. You think a plane ticket for $1000 is cheap... wow.
