Actually, the revenue ticket has the fuel surcharge. It is just hidden in the base fare. You have to click on DETAILS to get to see the fuel surcharge of $316.80. I was fooled into thinking the same thing a while back until I began exploring. AC is just making the taxes look minimal while the fuel surcharge is still there.
