Just think of it this way, we're bigger and we're on top.

Correct. However, since taxes and currency is different, it's not an
entirely fair comparison (although it's fairly close these days)
More important is the percentage of increase vs decrease from an
arbitrary point in the past. In short, we're close to the price of
earlier this year.

Why, it's the land of hockey, whisky (that's how they spell it), &
ginger ale. Located due north.

They still do. It's just that they lump the fares into three buckets first.

Vegas only has ONE runway, that could handle 747-400 or
A340 aircraft, needed for flights between vegas and China.
7L/25R, with a length of 14495 ft, is the only runway long
enough to handle 747 or A340 aircraft. A 747 needs at least
11,000 feet of runway for takeoff, so all the other runways
are not long enough.

Talk about whisky.... I drank a great sake last night called 'Dreamy
Clouds' from the Rihaku brewery. Good stuff.

Nonsense.
Instead of using your silly game, why don't you try looking at the
runway specifications for the 747 as provided by Boeing. If you had, you
would have known that a 747-400 can use a runway under 6,000' in some
conditions. You only need 7L/25R under max load and very high density
altitude conditions.
