Thread: Checking Current International Taxes...

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.
