I find it very peculiar how taxes vary so much, as much as 100% or more between various airlines. When these competitors list their prices, say on Expedia or Orbitz.com, one airline's price will be say $275 and the other, $300, but the first one's taxes are $100 and the other one is $50.00 Is this a lawful transaction, charging more taxes in an efort to seemingly have a better price? This perhaps explains why when you are searching for deals, the prices you see never include the taxes in BOLD but rather, you have to click on +taxes which is not in BOLD. In other word's, Airline A's price is $275+$80.00(not shown) and airline B's price is $300+$40(not shown) Airline A appears to be cheaper but in actuality is $45 more. Please help me to accept the world in which we live. Andy Rooney, are you out there!

All airlines will inform you of the actual airfare, and the exact taxes, airport fees, fuel surcharges, travel agency commissions, and other items, if you ask them. They must do this before purchase.On Expedia, Orbitz, the other online travel agencies, and the airlines own website, you can open a fare summary and detailed breakdown page, as well as the fare (contract) rules being offered.Most people do not read this in detail, but may just glance over these details before purchase, but the details are there.By the way, Andy Rooney seldom actually has a solution, he just likes to b*tch a lot.
