Want to fly for free? got a load of air miles? it’s all down to airport taxes!
Recently having spent a whack of airmiles on a trip with the aim to be low cost… it is evident it all depends on the taxes for the airports you wish to fly from / to. Flying out of London is very expensive. Flying from Bogota in Colombia is free!.
A round trip from London-Mexico City-Cancun-Bogota-Madrid-London cost just over £300 in airport taxes + airmiles of course.
Heres some useful resources to help identify where you can fly for no tax (just use your miles!)
- Caribbean taxes and fees
- European taxes and fees
- Nice airline airmiles FAQ
- List of fuel surcharges for airlines award tickets
Bon Voyage!
