It's misleading to the consumer. Like a Starbucks saying any coffee 1.00 then you find out the cup costs 3 dollars and you have to use their cup.

Wadding through the fine print of airlines to see if the price is REALLY the price is just a scam to waste your time and money.

They already regulate it now anyway. The tax has to show up in the first price they show. Make it all show up.

Then give a discount if you don't check luggage, a discount if you don't have a carry on, a discount if you want to sit in a middle seat.

It's just a bunch of smoke and mirrors right now.

how is a discount any less misleading, once again, you won't know your final price till you go through all the options, just like now. but in reverse -- nm - Andie Oct 8, 07:34 1
