What routing did you use? Where are your stop overs? What carrier did you book for your first OB trip? All of the above will have an effect of the taxes/fuel surcharges. It seems as if $2200. is on the high side for RTW taxes. I believe my last AONE4 from JNB, was about $1000- $1200. in Tax/Fuel surcharge including the highway robbery taxes in London of $287. ( Priced out by AA, Mind pearl, in CPT) ( I will look for the exact quote for the Aone4 to check the taxes and surcharges)
