I can live with government imposed taxes and fees but the airline fuel surcharge is complete and utter BS.
Does that include income and other taxes that airlines may pay the government(s) that are imbedded in the price of a "free ticket"?
To me a free ticket is a free ticket regardless of what is in the ticket price. If that means increasing the miles required so be it. All additional "cost" to a Free Ticket is BS.
