FTFY
What's the point of being in LHR from 4:05 PM to 8:40 AM?
Doesn't that add a lot of taxes? What were your total taxes?
It's not actually so crazy... 12 hrs in Vienna, 21 hrs in Barcelona, 18 hrs in Zurich, 16 hrs in London, 4 days in Paris, just under 2 days in Venice.
My wife and I have both never been to London (or anywhere in Europe for that matter) and wanted to check it out. The taxes were ~600, is that considered high? How much is stopping in London adding? I thought it was only significant when stopping over just prior to travelling the pond.
