All of the various country charges were expected, having read to expect 10-15%, but what is the large "CARRIER-IMPOSED FEES"? Multiply it by three passengers and it's a very large unexpected amount.

Any chance I might get a different amount if I called a different Oneworld airline?

They said that they have to bill in the currency of the credit card's issuing country, so hopefully that means they'll convert the ex-BUD pricing to USD rather than quote me ex-USA pricing.
