Personally I would prefer to see the total ticket price, not a series of bits and pieces. Let's take road fuel costs as an example. Various government taxes, duty etc make fuel in the UK among the most expensive in the world. We all know the government is ripping us off and that the majority of the price goes to them. But we do not see a price breakdown at the pumps, it is simply 80p per litre (or whatever). To me APD, PSC and all the other extras are just the same as handling, navigation, crew, aircraft lease and other costs. Put them all together and that gives you the ticket price. That is what the passenger wants. Not a list of extras and a lame excuse.
