    Yes, Bue. Tourism taxes, facility taxes, infrastructure taxes, sales taxes, tax taxes...if cost/mile changes, then it's taxed more, too! hey, let's do that test!
    LHR $192
    FRA $135
    BCN $34
    NRT $43
    CUN $71
    BOM $127
    SYD $96
    rounded off, off course.
    Since there is no mileage charge for DL, no variances unless flying non-dep on yield fare, or buddy fare (add fuel surcharges)
    We'll fly our non deps free domestically, then book sep INT tkt to save them a few bucks.

    SYD $96 ($81 to LAX, possibly the only true orig-dest overlap we have in this whole comparison except possibly for NRT-LAX if you happened to do that)
    Huh, I always assumed DL had lower departure taxes than us. Maybe this whole time I was only looking at ES, since I vaguely remember asking about that once upon a time.
