For some reason they have issued tickets for TPA-DFW-LAX on two consecutive days. I figure I will need to get it fixed, but will wait until I have flown a couple more segments and can get the ticket reissued as an E-ticket.
Final price was EUR 4150 base fare plus EUR 470 in taxes – the latter seems high, but not unduly so, and there doesn’t seem to be any real way to tell.
Those extra segements cost USD 300 apiece if I remember right so you may be in for a hefty refund (though it seems that they have forgotten to charge you for it). The taxes include fuel surcharges which on some airlines can be quite high, depends a lot on your routing and choice of airline.
