I've called on those before and found the actual amount you pay to be quite a bit higher. Also I fly from Phoenix and I have found adding that to the package often makes it higher than my agent. Lower prices are always worth checking out but a lot of the time you don't save as much as you think you will. :SugarwareZ-034: Edited May 7, 2009 by tom_shor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The taxes add up much more than the fare price.Having said that there are some really good deals on some airlines which include the taxes and charges in the price,Cathay Pacific ,Singapore Airlines, Air Asia, to name a few.It pays to read the fare conditions well before you purchase. :th_need_vac: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
