No,didn’t say that but perhaps it’s worth a try ? And fun enough SAS advertised prices STO-FRA are much above Lauris suggestion of SAS FRA-STO-Helsinki. There are just too little competition on Scandinavia-Germany thanks to SAS-LH partnership. As for one-way charge it’s quite usual on toll-bridges and roadferries. Malta-Gozo is one I can remember.

All of the bridges in the San Francisco Bay area only charge toll in one direction. Some genius realized that, on the average, jsut about as many cars went each way for the obvious reason that most trips across the bridges are round trips. So they doubled the toll and took down the toll booths going one way (except for the Golden Gate Bridge where the toll booths remain, unattended). There has been considerable saving in toll collection costs and the toll booth traffic jams in one direction are gone. Is it possible the Severn Bridge does similarly? I always thought it interesting that I had to pay to enter San Francisco but it costs nothing to leave! <g> Tim Hurson Livermore, CA — * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * ******* My typos are intentional copyright traps ******

Reciprocity is not guaranteed on airlines (or toll bridges – it has always amused me that the toll on the Severn Bridge between England and Wales is GBP 4.20 for a car to enter Wales but there is no toll the other way, ie entering England). (Maybe it shows how the two countries value themselves?) — Michael Forrest

No,didn’t say that but perhaps it’s worth a try ? And fun enough SAS advertised prices STO-FRA are much above Lauris suggestion of SAS FRA-STO-Helsinki. There are just too little competition on Scandinavia-Germany thanks to SAS-LH partnership. As for one-way charge it’s quite usual on toll-bridges and roadferries. Malta-Gozo is one I can remember.
