          I’m guessing it’s the “peak dates” thing. They have a base price aka. minimum price when planes are mostly empty and then put on a surcharge for when demand is high, instead of altering the base price.

        volatile, unpredictable or fluctuating operating costs and fees

        Socialize the Costs and Privatize the Profits

        edit: What confuses me is how these things can be “volatile” and “fluctuating” before you bought the ticket?

          Fuck, Dean, lately all you seem to do on lemmy is gripe and insultingly correct people while getting it wrong yourself. Hope you feel better soon.

          Like the plaque on your teeth?

          Or did you mean plague, you (to borrow a page from your own playbook), fucking idiot?

          Neither of which is an actual turn of phrase, btw. The phrase you wanted is (ironically, because of the plaque) “it’s like pulling teeth with you.” If you’re going to be a smug dick at least be correct so you don’t embarrass yourself any more than you already do by simply being a smug dick.
