And for LHR-OSL are:
- USD26.70 United Kingdom Passenger Service Charge Departures (UB)
- USD34 United Kingdom Air Passenger Duty APD (GB)
TOTAL USD325.70
OPTION 2. Via DOH (assuming you would transit Doha):
the +++ for NBO-xDOH-OSL are:
- USD50 Kenya Passenger Airport Service Charge International (TU)
- USD222 Carrier-imposed surcharge (YQ)

- USD8 Carrier-imposed surcharge (YR)
- USD9.60 Qatar Passenger Facility Charge Pfc (G4)
- USD0.50 Qatar Passenger Service Charge Arrivals (PZ)
TOTAL USD290.10
So, a small saving by routing via DOH, but you miss out on London
Notes:
- All this information is gained by plugging your flights into The Matrix
- You said that CX is ticketing this. CX might, or might not, collect the Carrier Imposed Surcharges for each and every carrier on the itinerary
As always, so helpful- thank you! I guess I'll start learning to use the matrix for my next trip.
