So I see an ad for a 5 day trip to ireland... includes hotel and flight for 399 per person. I'm thinkin... hey what a deal.
Then I find out the prices are only based from flying out of New York. So there's another 200 to fly from here.
Then another 250 per person in 'taxes and fees'
Soooo... yea. Not so much of a great deal after all

It amazes me how much tax they put on airfares now.......like great deal to vegas only $99 for 3 nights.................plus $300 in taxes

So, our trip to Ireland is off?

The "airline security" is expensive.

I agree. It seems like it is always too good to be true

Even if you have to pay the $200 extra-go for it! It will be a trip you remember FOREVER!!!!!!

I got a round trip air and 4 night hotel to LA for $400.00. I was excited

Yeah for you, lady! How are you?

I am great how are you?

I hear you will be joining us at the Meet! I am sooo excited

lol I would go for it but I can't afford it. I could swing 500 a person put anymore. Plus that doesn't include food or entertainment.
An all inclusive to Jamaica thats flights, hotel, all food and drinks is around 700 person.

Heheheheheh well I got a 7 day cruise to Cozumel Mexico, Cayman Islands & Jamaica for $500 the trip is planned in September.

see thats why I didn't book this trip. I KNOW I can get a better deal than they tried to offer me.

What meet? when?

For only $99 USD I can insure you get a box, the contents are classified but with only $99 USD, you can have it.*

*Tax where applicable...

It is a Texas meet in Dallas. But DDN I will be in LA in June, but I see you will be there sooner.

But........now that is cabin that is at least 2 people my family are all getting together and going on this trip. We booked it almost 2 months ago. But we have till end of June to pay for the trip then of course all your extra's you want to do is separate cost. There is always that extra cost no matter what you do.... But well worth it I'm sure.

I'm here...It will be in May, doll. 20 - 26th. Are you going to be able to be there?

well lets see.. i'm flying to phx and back.

departure flight is 49$
return flight is 59$
total w/o fees taxes etc is 108$

total flight cost is 119.00$ round trip with everything.

sooo they taxed and surcharged me ...

11$

thank you southwest airlines

once on a southwest flight...

"ladies and gentlemen, we are now arriving at phoenix sky harbor airport. if you have a connecting flight with southwest, please proceed from the plane to the monitors on the left to find your flight and continue straight to that connecting gate.

if you have a connecting flight with another carrier... we don't care.

Thank you for flying southwest airlines and have a great trip!"

swear to god, word for word. :p

I about died laughing.

I guess Ireland has an 85% sales tax
