You go to EasyJet.com and try to book STN to AMS, and the taxes are approximately 15 pounds for the return?

How is this???

There is a very simple explanation for this. Easyjet is fairly unique in quoting fares inclusive of PSC (Passenger Service Charge). Most (if not all) other airlines list PSC as a separate item, i.e., under "Taxes and Charges"
