Lowest EX Europe A380 surcharge & tax

Hi All,

Looking to use my miles on 3 business class tickets to Dubai leaving from London or other European city.

London taxes/ charges are GBP 1400
Dublin taxes/ charges are EUR 1,067.28 - but no A380

Anybody seen cheaper fees/ surcharges from Europe please?

Any help is appreciated

At that price you might be able to buy Economy Class tickets and upgrade them for less. Save some miles for another day.

Prague, Copenhagen, Amsterdam are the cheapest.

Errr... no. Amsterdam was EUR620 when I did it in December.

I regularly use AMS as a gateway to LGW (or LHR) as it is significantly cheaper (in J, ex CPT). Then an award ticket to LGW for 4000 Avios plus £17.50 (one way). Ok, you miss out on the CD in London (and the lounge in AMS is not that good), but a saving of ZAR 6000 (£ 360) buys a lot of taxi service.
