You keep saying this, but you’re still wrong. The issue at hand is the price discovery process, not booking. Nobody is claiming this is a massive “a ha” by itself, but it’s not hard to understand that if the AG is reviewing whether hotels can be compared fairly in the price discovery process, then not having a comparable price with other hotels but then also not easily being able to see what the extra fees cover even once they are discovered on click-through is clearly relevant.
