How do you plan on saving a fortune if hotels simply raise their price by the amount of the surcharge and incorporate it into the price?

Because it will be easier to compare prices of hotels. At the moment you can have 1 hotel that looks like it's cheaper because they advertise a lower rate but have a hidden higher surcharge.
 
It will also mean VA now refunds the full price for refunds either under the fare rules or where you’re entitled under ACL.

QF does it automatically, but VA just hangs on to them.
