On itasofware there are NO differences in taxes and surcharges between flying LHR-JED and LHR-KWI.
Both have UK-APD of GBP138, UK-PSC of GBP44.96 and BA-YQ of GBP159.50.
So a total of GBP342.46 (approx USD556)
(note: I've assumed you're travelling in a premium cabin and so do not get the 50% discount on APD that cattle class pax get)
Good point. The taxes do seem ridiculously high.
Thanks for checking the numbers. I might give CX a call and see what they quote. Yes, it's Business.

Many thanks for that. It would seem KWI is the winner. Now I just have to talk to EY and see about award space between KWI and AUH.
I'll report back after I've spoken with CX and AA again.
