Taxes and fees are more than the airfare.
Hi all
Just wondering if any way of knowing what all of the taxes and fees are for a flight. I ask this, as I have come across a cheap fare on BA from DEN to LHR in May. The fare comes to $174, while the taxes and fees are $367.33. I just can't see how the taxes and fees can be more than airfare itself. Michael |

Just think about those one pound flights out of England. -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |

Actual taxes and government/security fees ran around US$100 on my last international ticket (they are mostly not based on the price of the ticket), but airlines can play lots of tricks with "fees". BA may still be playing games with fuel surcharges and other revenue enhancement charges. |

than airfare itself. Michael Ultimately, if going to the Continent you should have booked their deal to FCO from DEN. UK airports are the most expensive in the world with regard to the "add ons." s |

I think they are better off telling you only the final price........
