Star Alliance - taxes charged?
I just booked 3 saver tickets to Europe on Air Canada with my dividend miles. I was told on the phone by the operator that I would be charged a 15$ fee for making the reservation and 98$ in taxes for the 3 seats. When they tried my credit card I was told there was something wrong with the system and it would be best to call back ofter 24 hours and my card would be charged then. So I called back to pay, assuming the fees wouldn't be changing and my credit card was charged. I finally got my confirmation email, and I was charged $242.04! It was itemized as $80.68 per passenger and I was not charged the $15 reservation fee. What's going on? Has this happened to anyone else? Which operator was right?
