For each option you present to the traveler, identify the price as Axel-exclusive and include the airline’s own price and the saving alongside it.

Axel Membership is optional. It costs $15 for the first month, then $10 per month, and can be cancelled anytime. Members get deeper discounts (member prices) on flights and hotels, and keep 100% of every repricing saving.
