They are advertising one thing and doing another if they are refusing to sell tickets at the airport. They state the Carrier Interface Charge as a charge per passenger, per segment, charged on tickets purchased through the website. It is not charged on tickets purchased outside of the website. Booking a ticket through reservations has a separate fee. Neither applies when purchasing at the airport. That is how they classify it as an optional fee, and how they provide an outlet to avoid it. If the airport won't sell tickets, or provide a designated time when they do so, then they aren't providing what is named in their own terms and conditions.

  • Carrier Interface Charge: Up to $23 per passenger, per flight segment (Non-Refundable)
    • The standard fares we display online may include a charge per passenger, per segment, that is assessed on tickets purchased through the website
    • The Discount Den fares we display online may include a charge per passenger, per segment, that is assessed on tickets purchased through the website.
