Why do all of these asian airlines (singapore, asiana, KE) have these weird deals, where if i want to go to Thailand for only 15 days or less, then the ticket costs 450,000 won, but if I want to go for more than a month, then it costs 900,000 won???

Airlines use extremely complex mathematical models to set prices.

Although, think they might be missing something somewhere.

Roundtrip ticket from Wichita, through Chicago to Bloomington was $306.
If I want to fly to Chicago, spend some time in Chicago, and then fly
out of Bloomington that was around $100 more. If I skip the second
leg of the round trip ticket then they cancel the whole thing.

i just bought a round trip ticket from hong kong to sydney, via ho chi min city on vietnam airlines.
it was less than half the price of a round trip ticket from ho chi min city to sydney on the same plane.

figure that one out.
