Is there any way to calculate the tax on these award fares independently? When the agent said he to wait for him to calculate the taxes, I could sense he was doing it manually and it did not inspire a lot of confidence it was accurate. For all I know, he added it up incorrectly and I said "Uhh . . . ok" anyway. I'd love to have a way to make sure the figures are basically right so next time I can respond more intelligently.

I searched for my itinerary in this thread but didn't see anything similar so I can't compare that way. I'm looking for a more general method in any case. Thanks.
