That is one of the most uninformed posts I have read in a while on FT.

You can fly cheaply into LHR/LGW and out of BRU/BCN/AMS for example and not pay the horrendous Her Majesty taxes. This is generally known as an open jaw ticket. Very common, very legal.

It is all a matter of base fares and fare rules.
