Now there's an airline that knows a thing or two about "the letter of the law" and how to extract the most money possible out of their victi.....er, passengers. "Taxes, Fees, & Charges" is such a misleading term anyway, when your entire business plan is based on ancillary charges anyway. I'm pretty sure that the "fare" you see is the profit FR makes off of your ticket.

It's only their free-for-all boarding that doesn't let them also add the AerLingus "pay more to preselect the good seats" plan.

Anyway, to relate this to AC, this is one place where I'd really like them to at the very least emulate a bit of the FR business model (or, something they have done in the past) and show the "fare" and the "total fare" in smaller print nearby. I don't even care if it's all-in, just listed somewhere to save few clicks to find out what the full fare would be.

This, mind, is the ONLY TIME I'd like to see AC do anything to emulate the FR model.
