Mario, I believe the Indians are only charging the US and those who were with them, the "special" rates. Canadians are charged CAD$100 a ticket, purchased in Toronto, for a Mumbai to Goa flight. I should know, I bought two such tickets in the last two months. > Same thing in Jamaica, and I'm sure in many other > less developed countries. Yep, the US markets to Canadians, Disney World trips where we pay "Canadian dollars at par" i.e. we get a 20% discount.
