Apparently there's legislation going through the House that will no longer require airlines to list the total fare as the first-screen fare postings we currently see.
"The House accepted an amendment from Congressman Carlos Curbelo (R, FL) that brings the anti-consumer Transparent Airfares Act proposal back to life. That's the provision that would allow airlines to omit taxes and fees from their advertised prices and first-screen fare postings."
