In Canada the airlines have to advertise total price. They can show a breakdown of taxes and fees, but the main advertised price must be the total price the customer pays.
- advisedwang 8y agoAs the article states, the issues isn't that customers don't see the fares when searching for prices, but that loyalty programs and some corporate discounts exclude fees. So this practice gouges them.
- nradov 8y agoCorporate travel managers aren't naive about this stuff. They know what they're getting when they negotiate a discount for employee travel.

- GalacticDomin8r 8y agoA good policy probably, but getting "a breakdown of taxes and fees" is easy in US as well. That is assuming you accept the definition of a breakdown as: Fees: X Taxes: Y And that's it. So it doesn't seem that policy would help much regarding the point of this article.
