Easyjet taxes

barnishroader

Is there any way of finding out the portion of cost of taxes that are included in the cost of a flight?
I have entered into a promotion that pays for the cost of a return european flight but i have to pay the taxes.
I just wondered before they get back to me whether it is going to be worthwhile or not.
I am flying to Barcelona from Belfast and at present the flight costs about £115 with Easyjet.

If you do the booking online but don't pay, you get a breakdown of the costs.

i have got as far as the payment page but it isn't showing the break down of the flight price, only the individual flight prices which i already knew.

well if the promo guys come back and it doesn't work out then ill go there but what i really need is the tax cost that is built into the easyjet cost.
i believe they used to keep them separate and only built it in to give buyers a truer idea of the total cost but now i need the older version!!
others such as ryanair still keep the taxes separate.


DOH!!maybe i should pay more attention!!
i see the taxes are stated as 11.37.
If thats true then its a result for me.
I had to buy some Kappa luggage at 19.99 and the 4.95 special delivery means that i will get the whole return flight for 36.31 instead of 115.85!
I didn't even have to spend the £50 to fill the stamp card as my mum filled it for me!

unless the promo company decides to be sneaky and go with the aer lingus flights which would cost me 57.00 in taxes.
still i would save 33.91.

Which airline is the promo with?

barnishroader

it isnt with a particular airline, just european flights.
the promotions company is P&MM or something like that.
they have got back to me and surprise surprise, they are offering the aer lingus flights.
the flight times for it don't really suit so i have asked can they reconsider but i doubt it.

Strictly speaking the tax on short haul economy flights is £11 (increasing to £12 in November). Airlines speak of adding "tax and charges" or simply "taxes" but anything beyond the £11 is not a tax. Ask Alistair Darling. He never sees the money.
