I am using the 1W 6 Continent RTW in First. I am planning on departing out of SEL($5,632 is with taxes for my route), but because the SEL prices are going up 15% on May 1(I read that somewhere on this board), I have seriously been looking into departing from BKK or MUM. Which one do you think would have the least tax. Saving $50 isn't worth that much but if the tax rate is 15% compared to 5% then it would be worth getting to the cheaper location-which isn't a problem. I can either pick up or pay for (does that make a difference?) the ticket in US, Canada, SEL or my departure city. Which one do you think would save the most?

Thanks for the help.
