I no longer recall exactly where or when this particular situation arose for me but it was within this past year. I was planning a trip and checking out my airfare. I was either about to book or had already booked, when I recieved an email flyer from the airline about a huge seat sale, a major reduction in price. I was very excited to see such a drop in price from what I was planning to pay but when I ran the reservation, the final amount was only a couple of dollars difference. Everything that had been saved on the base fare, was made up for by an increased fuel surcharge.
