The maximum ticket price for short haul is $400. If I were to buy a ticket using Aventura points, and the ticket was valued at $300 + $90 fees, does the above condition mean that I have to pay for the $90 fees with my card or points, even though the total (fare + fees) is less than $400?

Thx
No, it means that the base fare of $300 will be covered, and you can use 9000 points to cover the other $90.
