1. Shion was an airship hub, they expected to get a ride there to Mistral proper, this makes me think it used to be like flying to Denver while tryining to cross the continental US(only between Vale, Mistral, and maybe Mistrals northern colonies)... it's where the airlines have their cheapest flights because they like stopping there for reasons like swapping crews.

2. RNJR was traveling through a land in crisis, transportation likely would have cost far more(especially with the dust shortage) and travel restrictions in general than anything Jaunes family might have paid years ago.

Come to think of it... you think maybe Jaune's family was actually well off enough they might have been funding Kuroyuri(waiting on its further establishment) and they stopped going to Mistral because it failed(thus destroying any chance they had on a return of investment) rather than being poor all along?
