Keep in mind one important thing which can save you some money.
If LHR is your connecting point to go with your airline to your final destination you should not pay the departure taxes as long as you show your boarding pass to the gate agt.[/b]
Not necessarily Z. Where we (AA) travel ticketless and service charges are collected after travel, most other airlines issue tickets to their employees (some paper/some electronic). The employee is generally required to pay the service charges and taxes at the time the ticket is issued. There is not guarantee, at that time, that the employee will make an immediate connection so the departure tax is collected. At the time of departure, that tax is also generally remitted to the UK Revenue authorities.

We have it good, but that could change.
