For an award flight from EU to the US, I am seeing a $100 increase in taxes dor an itinerary that connects in LHR vs a direct EU-US flight. Does this seem about right?

As an example,

FRA-DFW ~ $110 in taxes
FRA-LHR-DFW ~ $210 in taxes

This is with the TATL flights on AA metal.

Anyone know what the $100 different in taxes is? Is it some sort of LHR departure tax?

The EXP desk was not willing to give me the breakdown of the taxes.
