But they are disclosing the full
pricing. Price is the amount of money that you have to give to the airline to buy your ticket. Frequent flyer points is something that the airline voluntarily gives to those passengers who choose to participate as a reward for their loyalty. It's not part of the price, and, indeed, the price does not change based on whether or not you choose to participate in the FFP program, or whether you choose to participate in any FFP program.
