I gues your example does not work:
Swiss is flying WAW-ZRH nonstop. Fliying with Lufthansa means changing aircraft in MUC or FRA, an additional transfer-tax for this airport will apply. Therefore, the 20CHF difference in your example ist not cheated!

@OS-A330
I recently booked a fligt from ZRH to MIA. I was wondering why no fuel surcharge has been added. I thouhgt maybe the fare includes the surcharge. But as your example shows, it's not like that. Maybe LX ist trying to bring customers to swiss.com for bookings. Or unbelievable: it's even a mistake
