Yes there is a fine print, but FTC is taking this kind of bait and switch ads seriously. Recent ruling against satellite TV service providers comes to mind.
LOL! The level of delusion is remarkable.

I'm sure if there was a bait and switch argument to be had, the ridiculous "up fares" offered by AA and DL would take the forefront.

There's also a pretty clear remark at the bottom of the screen about the showers being limited to F on the A380 during the middle portion of the ad.
