Somehow, the price also came out a couple dollars short of what I had expected...base fare was $301 + $45 in taxes/fees, so I was expecting $301 + $45 + $99 + $45 = $490, but I was quoted and charged only $466...not complaining!

Now to use my GF's CP...thinking Quebec City this fall...
I always have trouble trying to pre-calculate the cost. I think yours ended up being $325+$21+$99+$21=$466 because the taxes show up in some weird convoluted way on the website. Be happy with the unexpected savings! You can check your credit card authorizations tomorrow to see if that is how it came out.
