On the other hand if I see an ad with the real all inclusive price, then I will take notice.

In my opinion the current policy is very counterproductive, commercially.

AC (and the others) would sell more seats if they were honest.
Agree. See this thread with AC advertising $100 OW pricing YEG-SFO but the total winds up at $426.
