I just love how these american airlines advertise...
"
Just $99!! each way "
Why say it that way? Of course you need the return trip home...you can't
walk home. It's good advertising, I'll give them that. Makes it seem like you're getting a great deal.
They do similar things up here. They say "Get away to Mexico for just $299!!
plus taxes and fees" and the taxes and fees are about $400.
This is why I prefer to use Travelocity to search for flights. The prices they display are always in Canadian $$ and always include all taxes and fees, no hidden charges, no charges for baggage, no charges for peanuts, no charges for using the washroom, or whatever.
