Fare details for LLXITSP


Travelers Price


1 adult = $ 503.00
Taxes and Fees = $ 147.00
Service Fee = $ 15.00

Total Price = $ 665.00
Here is what Aircanada.com gives:
Passenger Type Adult
Base Fare 503.00
U.S.A Transportation Tax 28.20
Sub Total 531.20
Taxes, Charges and Fees
Canada Airport Improvement Fee 13.74
U.S Passenger Facility Charge 4.50
Italy Int/Dom Embarkation Tax 9.84
U.S Agriculture Fee 5.00
Security bag tax 2.44
September 11 Security Fee 2.50
U.S.A Immigration User Fee 7.00
Canada Goods and Services Tax (GST/HST #10009-2287) 0.96
Council city tax 2.38
Fuel Surcharge 104.74
Italy Security Charge 2.16
Number of Passengers 1
Total 686.46
Grand Total - Dollar (U.S.)
$ 686.46

So, no difference in the fare. Difference is all in the taxes and surcharges. $184.46 vs. 147.00, or $37.46. Difficult to trace since Travelocity does not detail the taxes etc.


But it sounds like some taxes are missing on the Travelocity thing. Now would you get away with it, probably yes. May still be that if you complete your reservation on Travelocity, the price will come out slightly different.
