I also thought I noticed that Frontier does not include taxes and fees in their advertized fares. But after checking the charge for a seat selection, they add fees and taxes. So 2 one way $59 fares plus 2 $4 seat fees becomes $126.00 adding airport passenger charges, 9/11 security fee and taxes.
Lowest Southwest fare is $218
Not following what you are saying. Airlines are required to include all mandated taxes and fees in their advertised fares. They clearly say the $59 price is the one-way fare, not round-trip. I priced out one of their $59 one-way fares and it included all taxes and fees. Booking a roundtrip gave a $118 price that was inclusive of all taxes and fees. The $4 seat fee is an option and not required to be included in the price.
