BA Holidays extra fees - only shown with Economy Flights?
Strange wording in a banner on the BA Holidays 'Holiday Finder' page...
"Certain holidays require you to pay local taxes, fees or charges at your accommodation. Where applicable, these are included in the price shown for packages with an economy flight."
We're all aware that at some hotels there are local taxes, or controversial 'resort fees' etc and I don't want to start that debate again, but I have no idea if BA literally mean that the price shown will include such fees - but only if you're looking at holidays with economy flights. What about prices for holidays flying in the other cabins? What do they show then, and why are they treated differently?
Maybe I'm being dense or it's just badly worded, but it doesn't make much sense to me. Anyone understand this? TIA

It’s clear no matter what class you book in. I’ve got an F BAH which includes accom in Vegas later this month. It was clear through the booking process there’d be resort fees, and here on the confirmation
