I came up with an even bigger difference: LAX-HKG RT on CX in Business in Oct 08. I don't have Asia Miles, but I compared AA and BA. BA online was showing 100k BA miles plus US$154.81 in taxes, which they won't itemize. I booked with AA and it cost me 110k AA miles but only US$35.40 in taxes (plus the $15 phone booking fee)!!!

Gosh, I hope my HKG departure tax is covered in this! How much is that alone?
