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.
