Good point. If the OP is in the US - and with two US airport codes as his/her FT handle, that may be possible
- s/he would be well aware that NO air fares advertised in the US can be bought at the advertised price. That little asterisk diverting you to small print saying that taxes and charges may be payable, really!
OTOH FR promotional prices of £0.01
can be booked - I've booked several
- and more than 50% of FR tickets are at promotional (= inclusive) fares.
