    But was the TOTAL price you paid cheaper than any other airline flying to the same destination, departing from the same airport, at similar times?

    If it was cheaper, then you have got the best deal - regardless of how the airline you've booked with structures their pricing model. So - no problem.

    If it wasn't cheaper, then why did you choose to book with that particular airline?

    Because it is the way that particular company does business.
