Some is easy and some not so much.


This is the breakdown of the base fare, segment by segment:

The fare is calculated in NUCs, a generic currency unit that simplifies fare pricing across multiple currencies. It is pegged 1:1 to the USD so that should make that part easier to convert.

I believe the fare is actually pricing as:
ATL-AMS//STO-ATL - $571
AMS-TBS - $783
TBS-STO - $252.26

This is all the taxes and fees:

These are a bit harder to read, but my understanding is the following:

XT32.20 - US Customs Departure & Arrival fees
US5.00 - US APHIS fee
XA2.50 - US 9/11 fee
AY19.44
CJ16.94
RN5.36 - Netherlands noise charge
VV22.00 - Georgia Passenger fee
GE4.96 - Georgia Security fee
JA4.00 - Ukraine tax
UA2.00 - Ukraine state charge
UD8.50 - Ukraine international airport tax
YK19.44 - Swedish passenger charge
YA4.50
XF ATL4.5 - ATL Passenger Facility Charge

I'm not positive what the other ones in there are and I cannot get them to easily match up to the various taxes and fees that I see in ITA for a similar itinerary.

This is the summary of base fare, taxes and total:
