Ex-KEF $6,207 + $501 = $6,708

The base fare for TYO is now quite a bit lower. I don't have the full breakdown, but I assume that the taxes and fees are much higher on the ex-TYO routing because there are more BA segments. (BTW, you can get in and out of KEF on AY).

Thanks for the intel/info. ex-Japan had always been kind of high in taxes & airline surcharges. I used CX as first segment in both of my ex-tyo DONE3s. I recall only 1 BA segments in each of those itins. I think QR surcharges are high too (don't know for fact). I usually had many QR segments.

Never thought of ex-KEF. AY is your first segment carrier? Is it seasonal?
