Why is the ticket from an airport further away half the cost?

Upvote:2

There are many reasons for this:

Airport charges vary greatly between hub and satellite airports.
Competition is often a driver of prices, especially at a core hub airport like Heathrow.
Routes may be restricted - they are especially so at large airports.

If you are so lucky - you should always pick a satellite airport to start and end your journey. The cost will most likely always be in your favor.

Airlines will charge what they think customers will pay, and that price fluctuates over time and for various commercial factors, including demand, cost of supply and other factors.

I often travel to the 3rd nearest airport (2 hours drive away) to save sometimes upwards of £1000 when taking the family on holiday.

Always looking at nearby airports - both for your start and destination.
