Low taxes airport for Business Class
Hi folks,
I have a Lloyds upgrade voucher about to expire. I am looking to use it 2x inbound in J. I saw that Doha, for instance, has rather low taxes for business class (£78pp). Are there any other popular destination outside Europe which have low taxes for premium cabins?
Thanks

and those carrier charges jumps the price from a base cost £28 to £205 per person (in F) for my recent booking out of HKG. Its pure profit by Ba and there is nothing you can do but to pay...

On a redemption? I booked a HKG-LHR redemption recently (in CW) and the cost was only £30-something all-in. I would certainly query it if you were charged £205 pp.

You aren't charged carrier surcharge for an exHKG flight. However, this is only the case if it is not part of a return itinerary, so a HKG-LHR flights as part of a LHR-HKG-LHR would get charged the normal surcharge, whereas a standalone HKG-LHR flight would not get charged any surcharge.
