The fact that you are told up front all of the terms means by definition it's not a scam. Airlines can charge whatever they want for a service - and consumers can choose to pay it or not to pay it. If you think it's unfair, don't buy it. You absolutely have a choice - you can choose an unrestricted ticket. You can choose the train. You can choose to drive. You can choose not to go. Simple.
