We are planning a trip to the states using QF FF points but are concerned about the taxes. I am expecting a hefty bill but just want to know so there are no surprises. TA cant help me. Is there a calculator online somewhere?

Itinerary is Mel/Nadi/Honolulu/San Francisco
Drive to LA then fly to Melb

Appeciate any help
 
Do a dummy booking online (do the booking process, selecting flights without completing it) and if you have enough points the taxes will be calculated for you.
 
I was going to try that but was concerned it will confirm the flights before i had a chance to back out. Not sure i can do an award booking without using a valid account. I will have another look. Thanks
 
Nothing get ticketed until you put your CC number in. Before this the points and 'taxes' are quoted.
 
Thanks II have just been trying to do that but now i cant get the flights i want, or anythinlg close to the dates required. I am now just trying for any date just to get the quote on taxes, but if i cant get the flights, it might be all in vain anyway. Damn FF progammes suck.

Will keep trying.
 
Not sure how indicative this is (and apologies if this gives you a bum steer) as I have never booked an international award flight, but my upcoming MEL-SYD-LAX return paid fare includes taxes of ~ $500.
 
I did a dummy booking using May 2008 dates.

MEL-NAN-xLAX-HNL-SFO,LAX-MEL came to 137,000 QFF points and $385 in +++.

Thanks for that. IO think the reason i have been having trouble is i am trying to get 4 seats. Appreciate you doing that though. The message cut off at the end but it looks like you were saying the taxes came to $385 per person. Was that right? if so that is not all bad.

Thanks again.

I don't think it was cut off +++ means Taxes, Airport fees and Fuel Surcharges.
