Be thankful that this is not easy to figure out. If it was, this sort of deal would be permanently gone in all of its permutations by now - don't you think the airline / booking engine IT folks would immediately program out these sort of deals if they knew how to do it?
Bottom line, even if someone out there knows enough to post what you want, the moment he or she does there will be a sudden and much more comprehensive death to surchargeless fares.
