About LinkBacksis that per person on top of what you pay for the flight?
is that per person on top of what you pay for the flight?
DL employees don't pay for flights, but if our buddy pass riders fly, they pay mileage + that amount. That is per person. The GB departure tax out of LHR is HIGH. It's slightly less to leave from LGW

Scubajen,
Are you an employee of CO? If so, you shouldn't have any trip pass fees, unless you are taking BusinessFirst and not on a vacation pass. As for the departure tax, you are right, there isn't any place it is specifically listed on mycoair. Unfortunately they change frequently. One kind of backdoor way to figure it out is to try and make a booking on the interline fare calculator which can be accessed from the employeeres page. When you look at the breakdown of the ZED fare price, it shows the intl taxes. I just looked for LHR-IAH and it is around $140 dollars or 88 GBP. They don't charge based on cabin anymore out of LHR. Sadly, this charge is per person, regardless of the way you are ticketed and usually is paid at the airport, but for LHR, it is actually one of the only stations that I know of that payroll deducts. Let me know if you have any departure tax questions. I have a good idea as to what they are in most places, as Mrs767 does as well! Safe travels,
Nick
remember one thing if you connect or have a stopover of less than 24h, and take the airline you work for to your final destination, show your boarding pass some departure taxes should be waived.
It will only work with your airline because all the ZED include all the taxes (except for countries which are still collecting them) and these cannot be refunded.
ex
ATL/LHR pn DL LHR/IST on TK you cannot escape the taxes from LHR
IST/LHR on TK connecting to LHR/ATL on DL if you are a DL employee you should get some taxes waived by showing the agent your TK boarding pass proving that you are connecting, in case of doubt and taxes showing up keep it and contact your travel bureau

MXP shows being only $36 for us....not bad at all!Originally Posted by zedman
I am shocked at FRA!! What happened? When I went a few years ago, it was only around $60 and now it shows as $131. Ouch!
I had heard CDG was more for J and F, but how do they do that? Do they collect it at CDG? If I make a dummy listing in J class, it shows it being $66.

LGW to ATL is $110.00
OP was asking about LHR in particular, which is $$
welcome, Maureen--new to the forum?

I just left FRA yesterday, it was 80 Euros - $110. As for Germany in general, I went to Berlin in Oct 2010 and it was around $30 bucks, which it had been for a quite a few year, same with FRA. Went again in April, and it was $90! Now it is $110! Looks like Spain wins at around 10 Euro. For Paris, at least for CO, they collect the taxes at the gate once you have been cleared. It is quite a slick operation actually. Was there in June, and the flight was a S#@$ Show, the called people one by one, and forced everyone else to stay away from the mini ticket counter near the gate. It was 50 something Euro, so about what your dummy booking showed.

Is LHR a lot more? I know usually they are pretty similar at most airports in country since usually it is a Gov't tax. One thing in the UK, they did reduce BFS since it was just too punitive for that airport.
Oh well, just another part of non-revving that has changed!

Sadly, BUD will not be back in 2012.....
I never got to go, so will have to ZED now.
