Something I was wondering - when I book an award for a hotel stay, e.g. with Hilton Honors points, everything is covered - taxes, fees, etc.
When I book an award with LH, however, sometimes, fees seem to be very high.
Case in point - I was looking at an award from MUC to SKG. It is actually available, but taxes/fees are € 112. For that kind of money, I might just get the roundtrip flight on another carrier almost, but without having to spend any miles.
What is contained in all these charges? This is very intransparent for the consumer - not possible to understand what is behind this, since LH does not break it down.
Not only that, but when I try to book the same award in business class, suddenly, charges are € 6 higher, so it comes to € 118? Seems arbitrary to me.
Does anybody have any explanation for this?
Thanks.
