You are not.

The airline has split up its pricing to show its components. You have chosen to focus on one component.   Every airline breaks out its cost of airfare. 

Thai Airways on its flight from  BKK to Ubon charges  a base fare of 1,340 and Passenger Service fee of 130 for a total of 1470. The total is declared at the payment screen.

Auto dealers sell their vehicles at a base price and add a delivery and prep fee and other charges to make up a final amount.

Good Restaurants have a menu price and then add a gratuity and taxes for the final  bill.

Appliance  retailers have a product price and then add  a delivery fee and taxes to the final invoice.

 

If you cannot afford the cost of travel, do not travel.

I can afford it, it is not about that. Imagine this. You go into a shop, see something that you need or want to buy. The price is set to 300 baht. You think that is well worth it, and put it in your basket. When you come to the cashier, you see that he has put the price at 467 baht. When you ask why, the cashier says, "The price is 300 baht, but you have to pay me 167 baht extra or you won't get it". Would you just accept that? 

Up to you, but I still think it is a scam.
