Thread: ZED tickets - taxes

I always get puzzled when the subject is airport taxes.


Say I have two ZED tickets -> LHR – BKK and FRA-BKK

They fall within the same mileage zone (7) – to make it simple let’s consider both to be ZL tickets . The price difference will depend exclusively on airport taxes. So far so good.

I have always heard that LHR taxes are extremely high. Why? What’s the difference between FRA and LHR taxes (in terms of variables)?


How do you breakdown these taxes? Fuel, departure tax, etc…


Is there any chart where I can check taxes fares (applicable to ZED tickets)?


How much is the BKK-LHR and BKK-FRA taxes? If this last question is sensitive, please send me a private message!


I understand it’s a lot of questions; please share with me the ones you know!


Thank you all.
