You have to search a lot to find decent one-way fares from Europe back
here ... but they do become available at times ...
Coming back from Barcelona just about every one way fare direct to NY
was lots more than a RT ...One direct listed at $3700 coach ... Most
were over $1000 but finally we did find one on Swiss Air through
Geneva that was 411 ... Cruise air was like 800 ... Cunard probably
gets much better deals since they do that often ...
