Airline / Airport taxes to Europe

[Edman5700]

Hi All,

Been 10 years since I've traveled around Europe / UK so airline/airport taxes would have changed.

It seems like if the final inward destination is Heathrow or anywhere UK, the taxes seem quite high.
But if the destination is within Europe Eg: Paris, Berlin etc the taxes are lower ?

Or am I totally wrong and its all to do with a combo of Airline you fly and destination ?

I was thinking to fly from Sydney > Europe (via Asian city), travel, then Eurostar to London.
Understand that on the way back will be reverse order.

Thanks
ED

Its departure from UK that has ADP tax and not arrival or transit.
Based on distance & class of travel. Very high for business & first class.
Air Passenger Duty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also some people here mix real taxes and carrier imposed surcharges (YQ fuel surcharge, etc) [= 100% profit] Never confuse these.
