I've been scratching my head at the press articles that mention taxes but not fees such as fuel surcharges at all. The genuine taxes should be the same regardless of carrier and represent money not retained by the airline. This is very different from the miscellaneous required charges added by the airline to increase the ticket price without making it look like a more expensive ticket.
