Taxes (for non-revving) out of LHR
 

United says $178.00. Can anybody quote me US Air, Delta, etc? Anybody got a creative way to get out of the UK without paying taxes :D

Traveled to LHR few times on pass privileges and that's about the same I paid. I don't think it matters how, or who you travel with, those taxes and fees are collected by the UK.
LHR seems to be one of the priciest for taxes and fees.

Not sure there is any legal way to get around paying that, unless your working the flight. Curious to hear if someone has some more insight though.

It usually costs me about $90 to fly out of MAN on Delta.

It's been a long time since I've jumped on Atlas/(Polar, when they were separate), but does anyone know where to find their schedules/routes? I remember that being uber cheap aka free :)

Thanks for the tip.

I've thought about taking the train to CDG. It's $83 USD to get out of Paris. But then there's the cost of the train to take into account...

You could try swimming home :rolleyes:

Maybe connecting through Canada would be a little cheaper, LHR is one of the most expensive cities to come home from.

I'd check on the taxes and fees associated with that as well. Not sure if published train fares include all of the international entry charges. It may not, but I'd be sure to double check with someone who knows for sure.

I took that train ride a few years ago to and from France, but I can't remember what taxes and fees I had to pay. Nice ride though.

If I remember correctly, the lasttime I did an international non rev, it was the taxes that the us was charging for entry. I don't know if the tax is different based on the country you are coming from, but coming back from muc was a couple hundred bucks

I looked again to see who was charging the taxes, it's the UK. There's a small US Customs tax, something like $5 or $8, the rest belongs to our cousins across the pond. In my previous crossings, I've managed to only pay taxes once or twice (Spain and Norway), but both were nominal compared to this $178.
