Outrageous Taxes?

Hi,

Reached a very friendly RTW AA desk on Saturday and reserved the itin very quickly (thanks to EF).

It did take them 4 days to return on taxes but have to admit I am surprised as they have quoted me $1,256!!

Their limited breakdown was: YQ = $582 and YR = $412 UB = $81 (those were the three highest amounts).

This is more than the one world planner which is booked via BA!

I realize that there are two transits through LHR but playing around on the One World Planner and taking them out did not make a big difference.

Other info given: Rerouting and reticketing = $125 + tax change, Cancelling = 5% of the ticket.

My Itin:

TLV-xLHR-LAS-xDFW-YVR-xJFK-MIA-xDFW-HNL-TYO-HKG-DPS-xHKG-SIN-xLHR-TLV.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

J
