Ok understood. I thought there were rules saying that airlines and OTA businesses have to advertise the whole ticket price inclusive of taxes, fees, and fuel surcharges so that passengers can make an educated decision upfront. I feel that displaying the taxes properly but the airfare improperly (ie an unbookable QR airfare) violates the intent of these guidelines.
