High fuel prices have been a reality for a few years now so why don't they [airlines] just suck it up and incorporate it in their fares?
While I agree with you Goldflyer What looks better on the billboard?

"Disneyland 1500*"

in small obscure writing at the bottom

"Taxes and surcharges apply"

OR

"Disneyland 1800"

Get them in the door and they will buy something.
