Difference in tax to US !
Lufthansa seems to have a special offer from CPH to MIA 2200 DDK, but tax is amazing 950 DKK !!!! SAS has a price for the exact same flight/routing/codeshare 4400 DKK + tax 550 DKK.
Does the tax increase the cheaper the flight gets ????

Lufthansa has add a special security tax on all their prices a few weeks ago after the 9-11 incident. Look at the tax YQ at your ticket.</font>

950DKK seems pretty high.
Booking CPH-FRA-MIA on the SK codeshare you will not be paying the YQ taxes, atleast for now.
What date are you looking on? AC has a fare for CPH-YYZ-MIA for 5861SEK including taxes.</font>

My wife and I are travelling from London to Honolulu on UA shortly on award tickets. She is on an SAS Eurobonus award, for which SK charged GBP61 for taxes etc. I am using a UA Mileage Plus award, for which UA wanted GBP32. Same routing/planes/airports and reservations made on the same day. Why such a difference?
For BA award flights from London to Zurich, BA charged an astonishing GBP38, while AA charged only GBP20 (for the same BA flights!). GBP20 is the UK Government's Air Passenger Duty, so AA absorbed the PSC's.

All connections through Frankfurt (and probably other German airports as well) is subject to a transfer tax. This tax was the equivalent of SEK 85 for each stop last time I flew through there. So if you are connecting through Frankfurt both ways, thats another SEK 170 in taxes for your pleasure of being transferred by a bus instead of getting straight to the gate, walking their long walkways, being searched by their nazi-style security and peeing in their loos. Personally I don't think its worth it. Other airports (such as CPH) don't charge for transit passangers.
