The cheapest return between London and Warsaw is around £110, so the expense of following your fighter is much greater in Europe than the states, thus adding to the disparity in support for hometown/country fighters in Europe.
$75 for that flight is shockingly low. Typical round-trip flights all the way across the country like that are in the $500 range. But I completely agree regarding the Bush administration's woeful environmental "policy" (yesterday's proposed "aspirational" limits notwithstanding).
