So what happens when you buy that ticket and don't pay any of the fees? If you get taken to Hawaii then they're in the clear. If they won't take you without you paying the fee then I guess the fee wasn't optional after all.

Buy the ticket how? Look at the fees for paying--you can't actually buy the ticket without paying for it.

Well I think advertising a price that you can't get the ticket for needs to be banned.

(To answer the actual question, I was assuming bank transfer, that's the normal cheapest payment option where I live)
