I've been putting together a DONE5 ex. JNB going west and as you can imagine there are many forced flights on BA. The Tax+surcharges have been significant up to 40% of the fare price.

Thank you and I will definitely look into having it issued by LAN. I just wish there was a way to price it and play with it online.
