We are looking at taking a family trip to London this month. We want to take some friends on buddy passes I haven't done it before, but it looks like the fees and taxes are around $700! Is that correct?
On Travelnet it listed a "yield" fare. Is that our cost for the flight?
Thanks in advance.

Sometimes you get bored and have flown the same approach too many times.

Been to the UK, few times. That sounds about right. Typically round trip is about $200 in taxes and fees per person. UK is the bulk of that cost in the $140-$160 range. U.S. retry fees are only about $40 or so.

And if your traveling with children, make sure the stroller can fit in an overheard because even if you gate checkout they will send it through baggage. Just a tip.

London has a very expensive departure tax that non revs are not immune to. I think it is a couple hundred a person that is part of the reason the cost is that high. Darn just saw deadhead beat me to it.

It's more like $500 round trip from the US to Europe via buddy pass. Heck, you can barley BP in the US for under $200.

Deleting his post only served to save him from himself -- you should have let him choke on his own words for all to see.

Wha? How can you say anything negative about a C-130 gunship?

I'd go back in tomorrow to fly those and kick some taliban ass.
