If we post fares like this:

1/21-1/25 SEA-MAD RT w/F* $4**.90a/i, w/o F* $6**.00a/i

There are still going to be a lot of people wanting to find out how to save their $***.

Alternatively, if we post fares like this:

1/21-1/25 SEA-MAD RT w/F* $4**.90a/i

Omitting the fare without F* just leaves them in the same spot 10 minutes later when they get frustrated because they are only able to pull it up on their own for $*** more.

We may just have to leave out the trick fares, and if there is a good discount put "try w/tricks" so those who know get a hint and those who don't aren't getting frustrated about the extra $$ they may be spending. But we are still going to have to deal with frustrated people wondering what the deal is up with these "tricks". IMHO I don't know what the best answer really is...

(Actual fares not fully shown due to missing "Trick it Thread")
