Tax calculator
 
Don't know if anyone can help, but I can find a mileage calculator but no tax calculator on the Emirates web site.
It's easy enough to see how many miles and how much tax you have to pay if you have the required amount of miles but I'm trying to work out if it's worth saving a few more miles so put myself in F rather than J.
Scenario is I want to travel from LHR to CRK say for the month of September, and I can see that it will cost 150,000 miles and £808 in J, I know it will be 225,000 in F but as I don't have that amount of miles yet I can't see how much the tax will be.
Any ideas?

Try pricing out a fare using ITA and then look at the fare breakdown. Can take the total price, subtract the base fare and what is left should be the total taxes and cash co-payment (carrier surcharges) that need to be paid

A revenue booking in J Saver showed me taxes of £839.15 GBP. In F Flex it showed exactly the same. Put in your dates and see if you can get something to compare with £808.

For the dates I put in, there was no F Service from DXB-CEB-CRK. I don't know if that's true for every day, but something to be aware of.

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know and yes I am aware that Emirates only offer a 2 class service from DXB-CEB-CRK.
Is it a case of you having enough miles to be able to look at the F option or is there another way of finding out?

Not enough miles unfortunately - they all went on upgrades to/from AKL a month ago!

I looked at regular paid for bookings and tried to get a number to compare with your £808 figure. The tax and carrier charges can be seen broken down somewhere in the booking process.

OK thanks, appreciate the effort you went to.
