This is why this type of deceptive practise should stop
In reality, no airline could operate without fuel, so it is a basic cost of doing business. When oil prices are high, they should put their fares up and when they are lower they should put their fares down. This fuel surcharge business is a scam and an excuse to advertise fares that are not really available. Sooner or later these robber barons will have to be regulated and stopped from their outrageous behaviour,but it will take a lot of political lobbying to make a difference.
