Comments on: Airlines Giving Us A Break? http://thesecretsofvancouver.com/wordpress/airlines-giving-us-a-break/taxes “Where Just Being 'Right' Is Wrong" Tue, 22 May 2012 02:25:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Reid http://thesecretsofvancouver.com/wordpress/airlines-giving-us-a-break/taxes/comment-page-1#comment-159 Reid Fri, 19 Sep 2008 14:21:05 +0000 http://thesecretsofvancouver.com/wordpress/?p=523#comment-159 There's something wrong with your math. The fuel surcharge is part of the Nav-Ins fee, which, by your account, is only $18. And out of that $18 only part of that is for the fuel surcharge. That $50+ is NOT all fuel surcharge. So if that ticket used to be $125 you have to ask why? Is the AIF different? Clearly the base fare has changed. Is it the same day of the week as the current ticket? Did you buy it the exact same number of days before the flight as the other? Was the flight full or half full? There's so many factors that go into the price of a ticket it isn't funny.
