Airfares are an arcane science with bizzare pricing schemes that I doubt anyone really understands. A while back I was going to San Francisco and wanted to try to bring Lisa along - that $79 round trip flight, ultimately doubled, tripled, and was even selling as high as $800 by the time I left - leaving Lisa behind.
That said Europe now has some Jet Blue-ish airlines that make intra-European travel much more affordable.
From what I know, Africa is a bit dodgy and usually involves several connecting flights if you're not going to the major cities. We've been working on getting a speaker from Uganda to Chicago, we can get him from Nairobi on British Airways, but he has to figure out how to get there himself.
