Q about airport taxes?
I was reading about the SKYTRAX award All NIppon Airlines received about its operation in Narita airport. My question is how much is the airport fee/ tax there and if there is a site where I can compare taxes between various airports

I believe the "Passenger service facility charge" at Narita is Y2040, but you are unlikely to see it, as it is normally included in the ticket price.
Airports are usually sensitive about calling an airport tax a "tax", because of the risk of reciprocal charges and there are mulitlateral issues about taxes. "Passenger service charge" is a more usual name. The currently internationally accepted level of charge is around US$12-15. You'll find they are pretty consistent. Any serious deviation from this level in any given region usually triggers other countries to raise charges in line.
I don't know of any site where all of these are listed, but good luck!
