Subject: Airline/airport /Govt levies,surcharges etc.

Posted on: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 08:41:38 +1030

Its getting out of hand what additional charges are being put on top of a
ticket price nowadays.

Example
Qantas Adelaide to Sydney to London with stop off in Singapore on return
leg,
reaps the following which add up to $680 per person for the round trip on
top of the base fare.
All prices in $AUD

AU = AUSTRALIAN PASSENGER MOVEMENT CHARGE = $38.00
QK = SYDNEY AIRPORT NOISE TAX =
$3.00
QR = ADELAIDE PASSENGER SERVICE CHARGE = $28.00
WG = INTERNATIONAL SAFETY AND SECURITY CHARGE = $3.00
WY = SYDNEY PASSENGER SERVICE CHARGE = $43.00
GB = UK AIR PASSENGER DUTY =
$102.00
UB = UK INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS TAX = $37.00
SG = SINGAPORE AIRPORT DEPARTURE CHARGE = $18.00
YQ = FUEL LEVY
= $408.00
Total
Charges/levies/taxes = $680.00 per person

Not bad gouging by them all...love the Fuel levy...must pay for all fuel
that is used!
