GST on AC domestic awards
Hi,

Am trying to figure out if I'm being given the run around here...

I've booked a one way award on Air Canada YVR-YYZ in J using BMI miles.

BMI are charging me £144 in GST, so based on 7% that means the ticket would have to be worth C$4,000.

I'd have thought that as a FF ticket, the value would be zero so the GST would be either zero or 7% of the airport taxes etc.

Would anyone be willing to try a dummy booking using their FF scheme and tell me what the taxes are coming out at?

Many thanks

Tony
