Vacation Planning

So I have been investigating the cost of several trips I'd like to take in the near future. To fly to Minneapolis non-stop (layovers add a minimum of 6 hours to the flight) it costs roughly $430. To make the same flight to New York's JFK it's $320. Now explain to me how flying an additional 1500 miles each way costs $100 less.

On a positive note, renting a car is super cheap. So cheap in fact that my planned trip to see the Twins this May is going to involve me renting a car because it will actually be cheaper than driving my own. I think my truck will be pleased.
