Depends on your definition of tax. Some call it surcharges, other call it fee's. But here is an example ticket YVR-ATL Jun 16/Jun 27th Base Fare - $248.96CAD Then a combination of the following surcharges/taxes/fees are levied by Air Canada. NavCanada - $15-$24CAD per round-trip ticket Fuel Surcharges - $15-$25 CAD per round-trip ticket Insurance Surcharge - $6CAD per round-trip ticket (w/in Canada) Air Travelers Security Tax (9/11 tax) - $14-24CAD (per round-trip ticket) Airport Fees - $5-$15CAD - depending on airport (US airports have similar fees) Airport Improvement Fee (charged separately in Montreal) - $10CAD (at last check) Goods and Services Tax - 7% of base fare Total: $377.18 CAD A total of $128.22 in additional fees/taxes/surcharges. For those that don't have a calculator handy that is the equivalent of a 52% tax. (The double insult is that if you only flew to Toronto, even though it is the same planes as YYZ is the ATL connection point, the fare would be Base Fare - $538CAD or a total of $685.96CAD. It's absolutely insulting.) On Tuesday, May 20, 2003, at 06:39 PM, Alireza Alivandivafa wrote: > At least we don't live in Canada. I do believe they have the highest > air > taxes anywhere.
