to raise ticket prices by 5% or 10% and be honest about their new pricing.

Hidden and all other surcharges SUCK! This is more like having the attitude that the customer won't recognize it.
Lets see whatīs the next ? here some ideas

1.) gasoline surcharge 20 USD per segment
2.) Ticketing fee 40 USD per ticket
3.) Paperticketfee 12 USD per ticket
4.) Flying against strong wind surcharge 15 USD/per h.
5.) using restroom more than once fee 5 USD per flight
6.) after next "VERDI Streik" pilots-earn-more fee
etc..... They have more phantasy to find aditional charges!
And donīt forget : The price increased already 2 month ago by 9 % !!!! LH pays no commission to TAīs since then! But the fares still the same ! And the TAīs collect more or less the ticketing fee now !
