US consumers hate "oh by the way" charges, and a "free tickets" promotion would be roundly criticized if the tickets really cost hundreds of dollars (as can be the case with European LCC promotions). That's why Expedia has had good success showing the "bottom line price," and I expect Travelocity will do the same thing soon.
