ZED tkt increase...

I just read that ZED will slightly go up soon as well as what myIdtravel charges per segment to issue the eticket...

This is true. However some countries are reducing INTL arrival taxes. Spain is one.

Good to know thanks...

Any idea what they're looking at for the new rates?

I don't at this time. The posting will likely come out in December

I saw it then it disappeared.
If I remember well +37 cent per segment per eticket and few % per zone for ZED.

I believe those are departure taxes. Try pricing one ways and see.

I'd like to see Germany decrease their departure taxes for one. Yeesh.

Last time I looked at FRA it was almost as high as LHR--around $110? That's totally NUTZ. Boss flies FRA a lot but I'm spending that kind of $$ to go for 48 hrs.

For info ... effective 01/11/13 for BA

Zone	Distance in miles	ZL OLD Fare	ZL New USD Fare Effective 01 NOV 13	ZM OLD Fare	ZM New USD Fare Effective 01 NOV 13	ZH OLD Fare	ZH New USD Fare Effective 01 NOV 13
1	1 - 450	22	21	33	31	40	51
2	451 - 750	23	26	34	36	49	56
3	751 - 1600	31	36	45	46	60	66
4	1601 - 3200	47	46	64	66	98	106
5	3201 - 4080	56	56	76	76	128	116
6	4081 - 5000	60	66	87	86	145	126
7	5001 - 6100	75	76	96	96	160	136

9	7101 - 9999	104	101	128	131	220	191

Interesting - some fares are actually going down a bit. For those interested, here's a graph I made from the data above - little easier to grasp, I figure.

Thanks, and now myidtravel charges $2 per segment

Interesting BA breakdown. The ZH to 5000 is almost a $20 reduction. But a ZL 1 hr flight you save a $1. Crazy..

Looks like ours are the same. Some went up and some went down. Not too bad really.

This is the Very reason FRA, DUS and MUC are off my radar for now. With MAD, BCN in the $30 - $40 range, it's hard to beat..

And really, I would much rather go to Spain over Germany (Spain being one of my favorite countries) - That said, it sure is hard to get to MAD or BCN when your airline only has one flight to each destination, not even daily, and on 757s :(

I've wanted to go to TXL for a long time because of the history and the Wall. Weather has been an issue every single time. Cannot do a 2-3 day TXL trip..:mellow:

Spongebue--I think you have too much time on your hands! Nice graph, tho.

It's been slow at work lately :) - I'm the only guy they have that knows this one system, but that's about all I do along with some odd jobs. There hasn't really been much requested to be done with this system, so I've been able to do stuff like that a little bit.

ZED fares are the same across all carriers. So a ZM zone 5 on Southwest is the same as a ZM zone 5 on Air Tahiti Nui, and on Ethiopian Air, and on Aerolineas Argentinas, etc.
