    I recently did a return trip from Dublin to Boston and back. Each ticket was 1 Euro; rhe rest was airport taxes, government levies, etc.

    In the past, pre-covid, 1 Euro tickets were not unusual. Part of the reason why Ryanair became so dominant was that they contracted with secondary airports that had much lower fees, so the final price was below what the competitors could offer.

      Yes, Ryanair. But even they could itemize what you had to pay extra for. OP got this instead:

      0

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