Now contrast that with the US situation where "taxes" (ie taxes, fees, charges) do not have to be shown "up front" but are added on after the mark - sorry passenger - has already been hooked.
They don't have to include them but if you use kayak.com they show the total fare. of course bags can be extra$. Many nonstops I take only cost like $15 for tax and fees.
