Interesting what the breakdown is on Airline crap fees

I just got an email from Air New Zealand that they are having a sale.  We have already gotten the tickets for this trip, but I wanted to see if we what we paid was inline with the sale. 


Every ticket has a MISC fee section.  On ANZ, they allow you to click on it, to see what the codes mean and what the price is.

This is what the fees are for 3 adults and 1 child.  (Hannah is now an adult at the age of 12 in the airlines' eyes)

Charges summary

TAXES LEVIES & SURCHARGES

CODE                            DESCRIPTION                    AMOUNT

HK                            Passenger Facilities Charge    HKD $360.00

IA                             Passenger Security Charge     HKD$236.00

KK                            Passenger Facility Charge      HKD$558.00

YQ                            Fuel Surcharge                      HKD $8,312.00

Total additional taxes, levies & surcharges

HKD $9,466.00 (that is USD approx $300 per person)

I can't believe the fuel surcharge.  Shouldn't fuel be included in the price of the ticket? 

They are at their word though ... what you see is what you get.  That was the price I found including all the crap fees.
