New That's fine, but...
I think the point is that the taxes should be shown separately, not wrapped up in the supposed base cost without any way of knowing what comes from where.

I would support a full disclosure at the point of selection as long as it's clearly shown what is fare, what is tax, what is an additional charge, and so on.

New Agreed - show the breakdown
There is NOTHING stopping them from showing it according to the article, just that the Airline PR guy was blathering about it being buried. Unbury it and quit bitching.

                     The article didn't say anything about "base fare" - (drook) - (6) - Jan. 26, 2012, 01:51:18 PM EST

                             What difference does it make? - (drook) - Jan. 28, 2012, 11:45:37 AM EST
