Guest M. McRae Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Went to AC's website and looked for the new low fares. Fares are indeed low until you add on all the surcharges. Basic fare of 69.00 ends up costing 136.47. It is no wonder that the industry is in trouble! Fare Summary Departing airfare (Fun) Rules** 69.00 Airfare 69.00 Navcan and Surcharges 40.00 Canada Airport Improvement Fee 12.00 Taxes Canada Security Charge 6.54 Canada Goods and Service Tax 8.93 Number of Passengers 1 Total 136.47 Grand Total (Canadian Dollars) 136.47 ** Change fees, restrictions and any applicable taxes may apply.

dagger Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 The idiots in Ottawa made such a big deal about cutting the security tax, and yet it is still 10 percent of the cheapest shorthaul fare. But the bigger scandal is that the GST is added on all the fees, virtually doubling the amoung of GST paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the joy of paying tax for the joy of paying tax! :-P So the GST, is it a 'good' or a 'service'? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
