One way tickests to US. Is there a way?

I am moving to USA for work for a few years. (Had enogh of this country) I have been trying to find cheap one way tickets for me and my family. All the websites and the travel agents quote either the same price as a return or worse, higher price. Never understood this part of the capitalism. Does anyone know any ways to get a cheap deal on one way flights to US? I am moving late September. Many thanks and keep up the good work. I will miss this site when I go to US.

PS. Going to Durham North Carolina.

    nobody flies direct to US from durham , but you could catch a ryanair flight to dublin to connect to airlingus

    You may find the cheapest way to do this is to buy return tickets and just not use the return portion of the ticket.

    This way you can fix the date of return which gives the cheapest fare.

    Can you fly cheaply to Durham from Canada? If so, get a cheap one-way to Canada (probably Toronto) with Zoom or Air Transat.
