For an August PHL-MSY ticket on United, my $89 total R/T fare was $55 for the air ticket, and $34 in total taxes and fees.</font>
I think United in particular is charging more for taxes than others... last week I booked a UA ticket, single connection, $129 base plus $30.50 in tax. Yesterday I booked a NW ticket for $128 plus $11 in tax.
