I was pricing a flight FNT-FRA and got $531.84 with a base fare of $432. When I punched in a PD886 ($100 off base fare of $400>) I only got a fare of $456.84.

When I inquired why I did not receive my $100 discount, I was told that a fuel surcharge of $25 each way is now part of the "base fare", BUT for the purpose of any discount cert, the base fare does not include the surcharge. Of course, there is no mention of this on nwa.com!

Looks like a bait-and-switch to me!
