Am I the only one getting tired of these misleading ads? That $129 is $258 r/t, plus a bunch of fees and taxes that add another $95 to the tab, making it $353. That's if you don't check baggage. And God forbid, if you have to make a change, they charge you $75 on line and $100 if you have the temerity to call them and wake someone up!

it really is false advertising, isn't it....we tried to cash in on the deal once and found the same deal - so expensive after all the taxes and fees are added on ..

Remember when a one-way ticket was more expensive than round-trip? Haha! Times they have changed...

You are not!

Hell....the cruise lines are famous for this BS too. Cheap fare bait on the hook......extra this and extra that. I am waiting for these Bozo's to place pay toilets in each cabin!

I stopped looking at these baited ads a long time ago....just wasnt worth the 7 seconds of excitement and thrill when jumping at the ad to purchase




Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
