I have been looking at different airlines trying to figure out how they come up with the $ amount they charge for taxes and fees.
Here is an example. I chose a random (but identical)set of dates and got the following info from the websites.
................. Westjet.......................Sunwing..................Air Canada
YYZ > MCO.......$225.........................$199.....................$188
Taxes & Fees....$72.65......................$142.....................$67.87
Total =..........$297.65.....................$341........................$255.87
Taxes as %........24%............................41%.........................26%
MCO > YYZ.......$291..........................$209....................$285
Taxes & Fees.....$50.42.......................$116....................$29.55
Total =.........$341.42.........................$325.......................$314
Taxes as % ......14%..............................35%........................9%
Now,I do realize that the taxes and fees on the return leg is substantially less....but can anyone explain the difference between each of these carriers???
If the various fees like Navcan,Immigration,911 etc,etc is supposedly the same for each carrier and the GST and PST is a %...then
