Originally Posted By RockyMtnMinnie The $394 quote I got was round trip. They just left out some big details... $598 worth.
Originally Posted By u k fan I don't think it's all doom and gloom though. My first flights to Florida in '99 were £324 inc. charges. In 9 years that's only an increase of £64 and LA is further away. Having not properly looked at flights to LA before this is kinda what I expected!!!
Originally Posted By RockyMtnMinnie Oh, it's not doom and gloom, but I think it is a little deceptive on their part. I wonder what portion of the flight charges they consider the $394 to be as I was unable to find a break down of all the additional charges.
Originally Posted By smedley It does seem a huge amount of taxes and surcharges for you compared to the actual flight cost RMM! I know, I am just sad, because it means you won't be coming to see me!
