Is there any place to purchase airline tickets at e.g. cost + 15%, with no BS?

  Cost of your seat on the plane is hard to determine before the fact. Depends on how many people were on the plane, what route it ended up taking (so how much fuel was used and how many hours were logged), assumptions about depreciation, which staff were on it, since different pilots have different wages, etc. If you don't want BS, I recommend living near an airport that's a hub for an airline, and always book on that airline from their website if they serve your destination with no connections. Bonus points if they don't do a lot of BS anyway. Try to plan several months out, and prices will at least be OK. Otherwise, call a charter company and they probably don't have a lot of margin or BS. It's just really spendy, because you're going to have to pay for the time you're in the plane as well as the time to get to where you can get in.
