I don't have an MBA either. However I will note that many european
airlines itemise their bills such that external costs (like taxes,
shared-resource fees, etc) are seperated out.
This practice seems particularly popular with low-cost airlines, as
it allows them to advertise rock-bottom fares, where that fare is
just the cost they have control of.
So there seems to be real-world precedent for your proposal, in one
of the tightest-margin and most cost-sensitive industries around.
Prettige kerstdagen!
