Emirates fares
I'm looking to book a business class flight to the Far East (actual destination not yet decided) and have discovered that Emirates operate an overnight service from STN to DXB with onward connections to almost anywhere in SE Asia.
For example, the EK website has quoted me a fare of £2684 for a STN-DXB-BKK and return ticket with the fare breakdown as follows:-
Fare GBP 1684
Carrier-imposed charges GBP 794
Taxes and fees GBP 206
I'm very tempted to fly out of STN as it's less than an hour from home as opposed to 2+ to LHR and three or more to LGW but are there any disadvantges I'm unaware of?
Fares I understand, taxes and fees I understand but what is the 'carrier-imposed charge' all about?
