I live in Dallas. I was going on a trip with my gf at the time who lived in Nacogdoches. She would have to leave out of Tyler, and I would have to leave out of Dallas. But we wanted to ensure we'd be sitting next to each other on the plane. To fly from Dallas to Chicago would cost more than to drive to Tyler, fly back to Dallas, and then to Chicago. Apparently it's an Convenience Charge. The reverse happened to me. I live in Dallas. I was going on a trip with my gf at the time who lived in Nacogdoches.
