Our Verdict
We’ve seen other sales to Europe for the same price previously.
Hat tip to The Gate
Don’t waste your reward points on Economy to Europe. IMO it’s only worth paying the taxes for Business and First Class.
I just returned from a trip to (continental) Europe on a DL Y award ticket I booked during a previous sale for 32k + ~$50 RT pp. Perhaps not the deal of the century, but seemed like decent use of SkyMiles.
Abelian – Why was that same 32K Flight only $50 in taxes to the rest of Europe? Is it JUST the UK that charges the higher taxes? IE, if you flew into say Rome or France would it be cheaper (taxes?)
I can buy a SFO-LHR fare for $415 in February and earn ~10K miles. With junk fees of $185, the net value of 42K Skypesos is $0.0054.
Yikes, $181 in fees! And here I went on a cash trip last year for under $500 before I heavily got into churning. Same time period too.
Taxes and fees out of UK are always that high, cash or points. That $500 was a $300 fare 🙂
UK taxes on airfare is ridiculous if you’re traveling from far away. Of the $181.03 in taxes/fees charged, the US asks for $22.33 of that. The remaining $158.70 goes to the UK.

Ouch. Taxes and fees to London are a nonstarter for this one.
how much do taxes run on avg ?
