They show it eventually. I was looking at a KLM flight last night, and
the first screen said the fare was £110 out and £117 back, which it
claims adds up to £348, plus a compulsory "reservation fee" of £1.
I have to go to the next screen to see that it's £265 + £83 tax.
(nb 110+114 is not 265, so I'm completely confused).
