I've trawled through other posts to see if another could answer my question, but I couldn't find anything that did. I'm currently trying to use my Asia mile points to redeem a return economy flight between Sydney and Tokyo (NRT) in September 2013. I've received a reply for an Asia Miles representative who has told me that the Airport, security taxes and fuel surcharge for this flight with JAL will be approximately $5,700HKD. This is approximately $700 AUD, and seems to be quite excessive, but I wasn't sure whether this was the average costs? Could someone please confirm whether these costs seem reasonable? And whether there is a cheaper option, such as opting to use Qantas instead?

Thank you

For JL, there appears no difference in tax whether the TKT is issued by CX (AM redemption) or JL (revenue).
