Let me guess: this is intentionally done to show up at the top of flights sorted by price low -> high lists.
Maybe, or maybe it’s to curb the law that force a refund in certain cases. You want a refund? It’s 64$.
They do that with shipping items on ebay all the time. cheap item price 100+ shipping

Fuck! Is ticketmaster selling plane tickets now??
Yes, are you interested?
Why are adults and children’s prices the same. Just charge per seat at that point.
They just block two different options in the software so that they could differentiate.
Large families still having the possibilty to flight from time to time even if they are not so rich?
What are their surcharges?
Bullshit, mostly.
I had a hotel charge me for “services.” Like bitch that’s in the price of the room!
Maybe “services” entitled you to getting your dick wet, but you didnt ask. Always gotta read the fineprint.
If I get charged for “services” in quotes like that, I’d better collapse breathless afterwards.

Being alive…
They’re for convenience!
In theory, the resort fees are intended to help pay for upkeep of “perks” like the pool, gym, entertainment venues, etc., whereas your room fee is paying staff and keeping your room clean.
charging you for other charges.
OK. May we see the itemized list?
On the invoice it doesn’t seem so. Just 520$ per person. That link on the pic is just text.
So literally no itemization, just $520.
OK, that is indeed bullshit.
I’m guessing it’s the “peak dates” thing. They have a base price aka. minimum price when planes are mostly empty and then put on a surcharge for when demand is high, instead of altering the base price.
That makes sense, it just feels greasy
On the invoice it doesn’t seem so. Just 520$ per person. I’ll try.
Jesus, it is like the fucking plaque with you.
Fuck, Dean, lately all you seem to do on lemmy is gripe and insultingly correct people while getting it wrong yourself. Hope you feel better soon.
Wow what a BOZO you are…
I was shopping around tickets and this came up when using the Air Canada website.
Did the same itinerary on Google flights and none of it came up.

Don’t use Air Bus?
Just hitch a ride on a Boeing. They’ll drop you off along the way sometimes.

I recently did a return trip from Dublin to Boston and back. Each ticket was 1 Euro; rhe rest was airport taxes, government levies, etc.
In the past, pre-covid, 1 Euro tickets were not unusual. Part of the reason why Ryanair became so dominant was that they contracted with secondary airports that had much lower fees, so the final price was below what the competitors could offer.
Make sure to tip!
How this is 15y old and I’ve never seen?!

Wow, you’re a pleasant person. Just a big bowl of rainbows and sunshine.
You didn’t have to write this comment but you did and you look stupid. All you had to do was nothing. Even a monkey can do that.
What exactly is the point of this comment?
It’s such a strange thing to get hostile about. Ironically, it low-key bugs me that we put the dollar sign before the number it’s indicating. “$64” is read as “sixty-four dollars,” not “dollars sixty-four.” So why write it like that? (Not rhetorical, I really want to know. I tried looking up this question to find out the answer, but haven’t found anything conclusive.) Putting the currency symbol behind the number makes more sense, like how some countries write the Euro. (Which also explains why some people might not intuitively place the dollar sign before the number - it’s their native convention and it follows clear logic.)
So maybe the point was ignorance or fear of the foreign? Or a misguided attempt at English language purity? Or they’re a former Redditor who hasn’t quite shaken off the Reddit “pointless, hostile hot-take” mentality?
Moreover, the OP is a lemmy.ca account, and may very well be French Canadian. And guess what, the currency sign is trailing in French.
