Cool

Sites like Kayak make comparison shopping pretty easy - little to whine about regarding that. The usurious taxes really ought to be illegal. MCI seems to be one of the worst places, I think I have payed for 10% of their arena there.

For one week at MCI:

Apt Conc Recov Fee $16.67
Arena Fee Rec $28.00
Facility Charge $21.00
Energy Recovery Fee $3.15
State Tax $18.53
Trans Facility Chg $16.52
Veh Lic Cost Rec $8.40
Total Est. Mandatory Charges
$112.27

Total Base Rate*
$138.66

40 + % taxes. Crazy.
