A couple of years ago, I needed a one-way ticket to Europe.  It turned out
to save over $100 to get a round-trip ticket with 3 inter-city flights among
the cities I wanted to visit, instead of a one-way ticket to the closest city.

Also, at one time it was cheaper to fly to Vancouver from Toronto by way of
Mexico City than to do it directly.

Can these examples be explained by a wish to get more people onto low-volume
routes?
