when in travelnet and after looking up a flight, at the top of the grid with the flights listed there is a calculator icon. Click on it and it will show you the rates for a Buddy pass and I believe the DLpass is the yeld fare. Neither includes taxes.
I used BDL to RSW as an example since it came up in a post recently. Buddy is 62 and a yield fare of 46.
