Although generally, on award tickets, you don't pay the PFCs or the US International Departure/Arrival tax... the best way to find out what you were charged is to look at the fare calculation portion of your receipt. It should break down most of the taxes.
I paid $67.69 for a direct flt to LGW (this morning) - I was pleasantly surprized.
