Hi all. I have yet to non-rev to Europe, but I'm starting to look into it. My airline, Frontier, doesn't fly to Europe unfortunately, but I was wondering, is there a website or perhaps a way on Sabre to look up how much international taxes currently are? I have a counter agreement with US Airways, where we only have to pay the international taxes, and I was hoping there was a way I could look up how much they are at any given moment. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...IR#>/smile.gif

I do not know were you can look. Leaving from the Us is never high, yo get hit when you come back. The worse country to leave from in Europe is Great Britain, Holland has a lot of taxes as well.

I am not sure either but, I pay taxes only on my airline and it was $56 for FRA and $61 for CDG.
Great Britain is very high, indeed.

I don't know where you can look up a list of the taxes but they are included in the fare calc line.
Great Britain is the worst. It is 40 Great Britain Pounds for Coach and 80 for Business Class.
Also the Exchange rate will affect this as well, and so the weak dollar doesn't fare to well in Europe.
We flew out of MXP in April and it was about 13 Euros (about $26).

If you have access to native Sabre, you can display the arrival/departure taxes for each country that you're traveling from/to (TX*followed by the country code, e.g., TX*US for USA, TX*GB for the United Kingdom, TX*DE for Germany, etc.).
You could also go onto the other airline's website and price the itinerary. Once you've selected a fare (commerical fare) you should be able to see a breakdown of the base fare and the taxes (sometimes even a breakdown of taxes). There are a handful of taxes that are a percentage of the base fare (e.g., the US DOMESTIC TRANSPORTATINO TAX which is 7.5% of the base fare) but most are a flat rate. That should give you a ROUGH idea of what the taxes will be.

Thanks for all the responses! It looks like flying into London is the most expensive city in Europe to fly into... I'm thinking flying into Paris might be a cheaper option.

I have access to what they say is the current international fee schedule on our website. All I do is add the US fees of $17 to the numbers they give us.
TXL recently was $42, ATH was $65ish, IST was $32sh+$20 visa on arrival, VCE was $27, OTP was $17, BUD $39.
By far, UK is the worst and I also understand that if you ask for Business class and pay the $80L you don't get refund difference if you have to sit coach, BUT if you pay coach you DO have to pay the diff to move up to Biz.
Try BRU or AMS $25ish--no idea about CDG since we have to use scrub passes and are not charged
