I still had to pay like 55 bucks but still cheaper than the jumpseating taxes for Delta. Do some airlines not charge you for the jumpseating tax?
I usually like to go business class on long flights, and for NW they charge extra. If you get lucky on UA/DL etc you can usually snag business class for free if you sweet-talk the purser and bring goodies for the crew.
As for taxes, I don't think it's something the airlines have much control over. You probably got luck with US. Although, I only got charged $5 euros leaving Dublin on CO, I think that might have been some kind of mistake
