EXACTLY!! Why don't the airlines just have the balls to raise fares - just the fares, and stop insulting our intelligence with fees? We would end up paying the same in the end, only with the added convenience of knowing EXACTLY how much we would be paying when the first fare screen pops up.
Airline fares used to be quoted with any & all applicable fees & taxes included. Just because there are a few more fees nowadays shouldn't keep them from including them in the first fare quote you see.
