dear all,
i've gone and bought a ticket with the following route and all on Q class:
SYD -> NRT on QF
NRT -> SJC on AA
LAX -> NRT on AA
NRT -> SYD on QF
and was asked to pay over AUD $570 for the extra charges and taxes on normally associate with such a trip
i've gone ahead and tried to work out what they would be and i have the following figures (taken from http://www.consolidatedtravel.com.au/qf/taxes.asp)
SYD:
Pax movement charge (AU): AUD $38
Noise levy (QK): AUD $3.40
Pax service charge (WY): AUD $41.16
Safety and security charge (WG): ???
NRT:
None
SJC:
Arrival (US): USD $13.40
Animal/planet inspection fee (XA): USD $3.00
Immigration fee (XY): USD $6.00
Arrival customs fee (YC): USD $5.00
LAX:
Departure (US): USD $13.40
Fed security tax (AY): USD $2.50
Pax facility charge (XF): USD $4.50
QF:
Fuel surcharge (YQ): $81 x 2 = AUD $162
AA:
Security equip maintenance (GA): USD $5
Fuel surcharge (Q): $55 x 2 = USD $110 = AUD ~$145
no matter how i add up the figures, i don't come anywhere near the $570 as quoted..
can anyone else see where i've gone wrong?
many thx in advance
