That is great to see laid out like that, since I have done a booking and a change I would have to go back through the itineraries to calculate the total, which since it is already paid would be strictly academic.
Is there a website or tool you can plug in a proposed itinerary and get an easy to see summary such as you posted? Would that be a function of KVS or ExpertFlyer? Or would you have to go and do a fake booking of the route to see the charges?
I never thought of doing that on this trip so frankly I paid what it was without comparing costs of different routes but seeing it laid out so easily here I will try to do this in the future.
