Are you mellowing?!!
I once missed my Easyjet flight from Gatwick... entirely my fault... and was very calmly booked on the next one, with NO extra charge. Can't say fairer than that.
Of course, mostly I fly by broom...

So at etyres do you tell people that a tyre is £30 in the adverts then on the page itself add £20 for the tyre brand name on the side of it, sorry you can't buy it without that.
No, you would say it's £50. I have no problem with the prices they charge just the way they pretend it's less then add stuff that you can't fly without.

Canadian government recently changed the law and airlines must now advertise the actual cost (including all mandatory fees and taxes etc. etc.) Naturally now the airlines are now cutting stuff from the default fare to make it lower (and adding the stuff back in as extra for fee services like picking your seat, a bag of nuts or a 2nd checked bag etc.)

'GOOGLE' Easyjet scratch cards and also read about Ryan Air, At least the Steam Packet tell you exactly how much they are robbing you for!

We are very strong on the fact that the price quoted by etyres is the price you pay, with no hidden charges.....unlike some more well-known tyre fitters.

.........but I agree with your point about airline pricing.
