List of Award Taxes from Major Cities in Europe, So You Return from Low Tax Countries
June 9, 2015
Below is a list of the taxes for awards departing from most major European cities, flying to the United States.
My friend wrote to me:
Not sure if any of the travel websites have done this, but the taxes of the airports in Europe really can impact the cost basis.
Just looking at three European cities for my United award:
London: $200
Athens: $98
Geneva: $48
Factoring for two people, that makes a big difference.
Every time you book an award with frequent flyer miles, you are responsible for paying government taxes associated with the award ticket.
