fair enough, "fraud" is a bit extreme. the underlying principle, however, is what bothers me so much. it's like when cruises used to advertise their prices without including the port fees (which were always >$100).

i just try to look at it from the average consumer--it's one thing if you're using a grocery store coupon and you have to buy a certain size/#ounces to qualify for the coupon.....but how many members of the general public know what "T class" is and know how to manuever the flight engine to display any fare _other_ than T class? if it weren't for my perusing these boards, i certainly wouldn't know.... but that's just how i perceive it.
