Actually I argued with them when they attempted to categorize them as taxes, to which the supervisor condescendingly agreed to call them "fuel charges if it will make you happy"
One of the underlying problems here as I see it, is that they already rebooked my folks on the BA flight at my request, and then 2 weeks later told me to phone them, so they could demand another $500. The itin is no longer viewable in my bookings so I can't actually print it out.
