Keep in mind, those same fees & taxes would still be levied on a $99 companion fare.

Interesting info about the base fares the same either way. One "plus" to a departure from NAU is the CBP pre-clearance. Maybe the US immigration fees help pay for the CBP people stationed at NAU?
Preclearance | U.S. Customs and Border Protection (cbp.gov)
