How is this reasonable?
Almost redeemed IAH-AMS & FCO-AMS-IAH for Aug using 100K miles on Flying Blue (Biz class), but saw that taxes & fees are around $550, so I decided to check with Skymiles, use the same amount of miles, and total taxes & fees is only $60. I can understand 100-200 difference since FB is notorious about fuel surcharges, but 490 is absolutely unreasonable.

Also, ended up adding AMS-ZHR and ZHR-FCO without using any additional miles. This one Flying Blue can't do (at least not online).
