I just got off the phone with the RTW desk and that may explain the 2,500USD taxes/fees/surcharges on top of 5,415USD base fare.

My current itinerary on hold is OSL-xLHR-JFK-SEA-xLAX-SYD-HND-xDOH-OSL. This was meant as a placeholder to fulfill 4 continent requirements until I figure out the final routing. Would doing LAX-NRT-SYD-HND save me taxes/fees? Any other options I can try to minimize taxes until I'm ready to do the final routing?
