I couldnt find a breakdown of these "taxes" .... 2 adults USD 408.00 each 2 children USD 326.00 each Total taxes, fees, charges and surcharges. This includes the September 11th Security Fee of $2.50 per segment, and carrier imposed fuel and insurance surcharges. USD 840.44 Total USD 2,308.44  Savage Mark Savage Post Count: 531 Msg: #2 931 days ago, February 1st 2006 | Well, one of the things when shopping around you must remember is that some sites show you the price with all included fees, and others don't. It is a bit of a sticker shock isn't it, and that does appear to be a bit steep. When I went to Europe in October, all together including fees from Orbitz my trip flight r/t was $830 USD. Total airfare was $798. I believe the actual ticket price was somewhere around $610. I usually avoid Orbitz like the plague, but I couldn't get within $200 of that price straight through the airlines or anywhere else as of booking. So that was just one tickets fees, taxes, etc etc... I could only imagine on 4 of them. | Number of Users: 2 | Number of Posts: 2 | ||||||||||
