Holy Crap is all I can say.
I have been aware of scam charges for a while but really didn't have any first hand experience with them so didn't heed too much attention on them.
I was looking to book a trip for a family friend from YOW to NAG as I have a fair amount of points and don't mind burning some.
Well, for 75K and between $800 - $1000 in taxes I could get a ticket. Or, for $1818, I could get a rev ticket all taxes in.
...!!! Who the hell pays $1000 for a $1818 ticket, I now understand first hand how ridiculous these taxes have become.
Anyone have any ideas on how to avoid this scam? I looked at flights on UA and same deal.
thanks
