For example, if I want to redeem for a flight in F from AUH-LHR in March.

The Etihad website quotes 97,995 points plus AED640:

...

The corresponding AA award redemption is 40,000 points with unspecified fees (I know the dates are not identical, but it doesn't seem to change as long as there is availability):

...

Clicking on the Taxes and Carrier Imposed Fees links doesn't show any useful detail.

I can't proceed to the next screen because I don't have enough points in my account (I am intending to transfer from Membership Rewards once I can find out what the additional fees are and do a comparison).

AA has less than half the award point requirement. I'm wondering if the additional cash fees will nullify any point advantage.

Is there an online resource where I can find out what the fees are?

Thanks in advance for your help!
