Decoding taxes and fees on a ticket
Hi there - I know this question has been asked before, so thanks for your
time and patience if you can help me with this one. I've recently bought a ticket from the UK to Norway (with a flight change in Oslo) and the tax breakdown is: 49.00 YQ 10.00 GB 19.70 UB 23.20 ZN I know the second one (10.00 GB) is UK Air Passenger Duty. For the others, the best sources we http://www.advantagetravel.co.uk/Tra...ine_Taxes.html and http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/archi.../t-292759.html YQ - I understand represents various airline-imposed surcharges for fuel/insurance? UB - UK Passenger service charge (so, the cost of using LHR) ZN - Norway PSC I understand all of these, but am a bit miffed at getting hit for £49 of surcharges on a reward ticket which is a mileage redemption! Thoughts? |

A few days ago, BA charged me the equivalent of £460 (USD 707) in surcharges on a single free reward ticket, the bulk of it in bogus fuel surcharges and other asshole fees that go straight to BA's bottom line. As I always said, European airlines are the worst when it comes to nickel-and-diming passengers, and BA is the bottom of the barrel |
