As mentioned, all taxes are included.
Wondering why you see 'Fares from [insert absurdly low price]' plastered all over their site? This is their loss leader and is no different from retailers putting out a catalogue with a few items being sold at a deep discount. But being a low cost carrier, the fare is only part of the story. You want a bag? Ka-ching. Seat assignment? Ka-ching. Food on board? Ka-ching. Didn't print your boarding pass? Ka-ching. The
list goes on because LCCs make a lot of their revenue from ancillary charges...
