Qantas price increase

[titfilou]

I was just changing my flexi saver fare and noticed that all Qantas flights SYD-MEL have increased by $1.

However when I confirmed I was prompt to the payment page (to pay the fare difference) and was asked to pay $0.02.

Why not $1?

Qantas has been tinkering with their airfares recently.

I know that on 01 July 2012 airfares will increase again to take into consideration "forced" carbon offset charges.

Why? Because they round up the price that is initially displayed, but then charge the amount down to the cent. I've seen this a fair bit and it has nothing to do with tinkering with airfares, IMO
