The like of ryanair and Easy regularly shout about how cheap they are, so what do they have to hide? let's get the WHOLE price upfront, and then we'll see how cheap they are (or not).
It will take some sort of legislation for airlines to change. Easy will not change to show gross fares in advertising unless Ryan do.

If you are driving down the street and you see an Easy ad for a flight for £43.30 inc tax next to a Ryan ad for £9.99 ex tax to the same destination, the Ryanair add will be a little more eye catching.
