    How the hell did she get a round-trip ticket from Germany to the United States for $1100? Did she have to ride in the luggage compartment?

      Have you ever purchased a flight to/from Germany to/from US? It’s not that expensive, especially in the off season

      It’s pretty inexpensive this time of year because Germany is cold as balls. My mom and I took a 9 day trip there in the winter a few years back for 2k each, including hotels.

      It’s not that expensive to fly to Germany from the US (or vice versa), especially from the East Coast.
