It does actually matter what word you use - even if it makes no diffrence to the amount of cash you pay.
Taxes are levied by Governments. BA and AA aren't government therefore it can't call its fees a 'tax'
People who call the surcharge a tax are falling into the trap of blaming the government - whether it's the US or UK - for something that isn't their responsibility
Don't let the airlines get away with it!

Can't book multi-city schedule with Miles
I tweeted AA about this glitch about only being to book two flights at a time for award tickets. They weren't aware of it and said they would contact IT and get back with me. Meanwhile, I CALLED AA to do a multi city reward (dfw-prg-lhr-dfw with some segments having connections eg dfw-mad-prg). First off how in god's name did we ever make reservations by phone before the internet? What a total cluster. She was giving me only BA routings through LHR and the criminal $900 tax but I tried to explain only AA metal across the pond please or IB routings via MAD. It was taking so long and was not getting anywhere. I said thank you for your help but I'll wait for IT to get your problem fixed. She, too, wasn't aware we couldn't make multi-city award bookings.
