Default Addtional cost on flights

Hi Guys

Just got a quote for some one way flights via Singapore. These are additional charges on top of the fares

UK Departure Tax 2 @ 20.00 40.00
UK Departure Tax 2 @ 20.00 40.00
Airline Failure Insurance 2 @ 5.00 10.00
UK Passenger Service Charge 2 @ 11.00 22.00
UK Passenger Service Charge 2 @ 11.00 22.00
Fuel/Airline Insurance Surcharge 2 @ 48.00 96.00
Fuel/Airline Insurance Surcharge 2 @ 48.00 96.00
Australian Passenger Service Charge 2 @ 5.00 10.00
Australian Passenger Service Charge 2 @ 5.00 10.00
Singapore Departure Tax 2 @ 11.00 22.00
Singapore Departure Tax 2 @ 11.00 22.00


Come to a total of £388. :scared: I am assuming Fuel/Airline Insurance Surcharge 2 @ 48.00 96.00 is for standard insurance with a fancy name which I hope to get separately unless anyone else knows different.

I believe you pay all that anyway, it's just if you are quoted with or without 'taxes and fees'.

Cheers.

As I previously suggested my understanding is that everyone always pays all of those charges, you just might not be aware of the actual breakdown.

You always pay 'taxes and fees'.

Cheers.

Don't forget "Breathing Tax"....

They tax you on everything. Booked a one way flight to Sydney via Hong Kong on Saturday and they charged us £206 tax for 2 of us.
