Fee(s) is more like it. Not only do they charge for telephone booking but they also charge an "award processing fee" as well as taxes on the award itself. I was recently looking to book an intraeurope ticket, and the taxes and fees were totaling over $100 + 20K miles. Buying the ticket outright was $230. I was shocked!
