Probably the most ignorant comment I've read in a while. Your complaint was valid until you threw this (btw, just went though the site without experiencing any of the issues you mention besides US page pricing in pesos... which is usually cheaper than USD). But I'm honestly glad you are having them
Yes, I'm Mexican, and I can tell you we have fantastic consumer protection when an advertised price is not the one you see at checkout (and that doesn't really happen when you buy something in the States, right? Need to add taxes after the price you see at any store... that is illegal in Mexico). Or the way banks rip you off with foreign transaction fees and advertise it as the greatest perk ever when they don't charge it to you... that's also illegal/doesn't exist in the land of the tacos.
Maybe you should buy your ticket somewhere else so you don't fly with the less savvy
