Award Taxes?

What are typical taxes/fuel surcharges on a US_IST award or US-IST-TLV award?

I'm sorry but I didn't request any award with TK until now. I think I will use it for upgrades which shouldn't need any additional fee.
I heard that taxes are very high but I do not know...you have 2 kind of seats to choose and the expensive one should not be taxed!
Just my 2 cents!

There is no information on taxes on the TK booklet they sent to me.
Maybe doing a simulation on their website...I dunno

Award taxes are the same as the paid ticket taxes. And they are high.
I priced the following booking for you.
2 TK 006 V 12NOV 4 ORDIST
3 TK1192 V 13NOV 5 ISTTLV
4 TK1193 V 21NOV 6 TLVIST
5 TK 005 V 21NOV 6 ISTORD

USD 350.00 (fare)
USD 283.32YR (fuel surcharge / tax)
USD 5.50YC (tax)
USD 72.90XT (tax)
USD 711.72 (fare after tax / before service charge)

For an award ticket, you do not pay service charge but you pay fuel surcharge). For an upgrade award, you do not pay anything.

Does TK charge a fuel surcharge for redeeming on Star carriers?
