I guess I have not been paying close enough attention but BE tickets now require payment for ANY seat in advance. It states it on the fare restriction but this really feels like a bait and switch. They post a fare and then start tacking on fees like everybody else. Minimum additional fee was $10 on the first leg and $20 on the second. Still slightly cheaper than the Main fare even after paying for a bag, just sticks in my craw.

FYI, this was for my daughter w/ no status, just booked it through my account.
