this print line is crufty.
don't bother to print $fares->fare until you know
what $fares is.
in fact take a another step back:
var_dump($data->fares);

maybe this? :
foreach ($data->fares->fare as $fare) {
var_dump($fare);
}

I would disagree - given the initial output your on exactly the
right track, maybe you should not get discouraged so easily because the
track is somewhat wider and/or longer than you had hoped.
it takes time and a bit of dedication before you get to a stage where
writing certain code (e.g. using simpleXML) becomes second nature and
you know what you are doing so well that you manage to get it right first.
below you'll find a snippet of a post made by Rasmus Lerdorf on the
subject of simple XML to php lists (if that name rings no bells, go find
out who he his before replying ;-):
----------------------------------
<?php
$rss = simplexml_load_file('http://jtjohnston.ca/jtjohnston.rss');
$channel = $rss->channel;
echo <<<EOB
<img src="{$channel->image->url}" style="float: right;"/>
<h1>{$channel->title}</h1>
<h2>{$channel->description}</h2>
EOB;
foreach($channel->item as $item) {
echo <<<EOB
<h3><a href="{$item->link}">{$item->title}</a> ({$item->pubDate})</h3>
{$item->description}
<br clear="left" />
<hr />
EOB;
}
?>
and here are some links
-------------------------------------
http://www.sematopia.com/?p=142
http://yahoo.progphp.com/flickr_api.phps
http://php.net/simplexml (read the user notes also)
and lastly here is Rasmus correcting my mistaken assumption about the
state of simpleXML (especially in regard to var_dump() - this should
indicate to you that you'll save yourself alot of headache if your running
5.1.x):
