When I lived in NJ, and used to fly up to Manchester New Hampshire on a regular basis-- a flight booked on less than 2 weeks notice usually ran about 600 dollars (for a seat on a crappy little regional jet, for a 45 minute flight) Newark is a hub for ContinenHell... people could fly from the opposite coast or Europe and end up in Newark to continute on to manchester cheaper than what it cost me... for the final leg...

ContinenHell figured that the newark to manchester people were going strictly for business and woudl pay whatever was asked...

If I was more ambitious I'd give you a lot of links of the reasons why tis is done and how airline deregulation was the cause of it...
