Imagine a 4$ “fryer surcharge” on your 1 cent order of fries? Probably wouldn’t fly, but airlines seem to get away with it...
I think most people would wear it if the serving of fries was as large (relatively) as a flight to Berlin and back! lol

In effect the OP is paying a $351 dollar "fare" for the trip.... plus actual taxes that were clearly acceptable to him/her. Is that NOT a reasonable price to pay for that trip? If the YQ was not listed...and the fare component was $175.50 each way...would everyone be happier?
