Airport tax comparison - FF flights versus regular fares
I suppose this is all down to someone's sense of humour. I was just looking at some holiday flight possibilities. I compared using Lufthansa miles to go to Dublin from Geneva with buying a normal ticket. Using miles means it is free, plus 228 Swiss Francs of taxes and charges. The lowest economy fare is 231 francs, including taxes and charges for exactly the same flights on July 9th and 14th. Somehow I doubt LH really wants to charge me 3 francs plus taxes and charges. The tax and charge fee for the FF points must be making someone a (small) bunch of money. What do you think?
