Taxes for France and Germany departures are higher than Spain or Ireland, but none of those are as high as the U.K.
There's one BA flight on the itinerary, outbound from LHR to MIA, both seats are in coach, and the exact costs for the two of us are:
----
Award Miles Needed
Award Miles Per Ticket 40,000 miles
Number of Passengers X 2
Total Award Miles Required 80,000 miles
Taxes and Fees
Taxes 459.20 USD
Carrier-Imposed Fees 458.00 USD
Total Taxes and Carrier-Imposed Fees 917.20 USD
----
Seems very, very high for one flight on BA metal?
