the yaxes are dependant on where you're traveling from, but if your in the same place...well things go up,as booger mentions you must look at each item, my fee for a free trip is from $140 to $160, depending on the actual cost of the flight then the charges upon that price. Yes it sucks for a FREE ticket !
