It has been arranged directly with BA-CAI. Be prepared.
I was just quoted taxes and surcharges totalling EGP5533 on a EGP13590 LONE4 fare, or over 40% extra.
I am trying to find out why. The routing given was
CAI-LHR-YYZ-CUN-DFW-DEN-LAX-MEL-AKL-ZQN-SYD-JNB-CPT...NBO-LHR-CAI
One thought is QANTAS fuel surcharges.
Any ideas?
