What should the taxes/fees be on this DL award from TLV?
« on: August 28, 2012, 04:28:00 AM »
I reserved the following award for 5 passengers in economy with DL miles:

3/12
TLV-CDG 5:20 PM - 9:25 PM (AF)

3/13
CDG-LAX 10:30 AM - 2:20 PM (AF)

3/20

LAX-JFK 4:00 PM - 12:30 AM on 3/21 (DL)

4/7
JFK-FCO 7:40 PM - 10:35 AM on 4/8 (DL)

4/8
FCO-SVO 11:05 PM - 4:40 AM on 4/9 (Aeroflot)

4/9
SVO-TLV 10:30 AM - 1:45 PM on 4/9 (Aeroflot)

The Delta Diamond agent priced this at 80k miles per person and $466 of which $345 was fuel surcharges. Of the surcharges, $232 came from TLV-CDG-LAX.

It was my understanding that awards from Israel did not incur fuel surcharges on Delta, but the agents said they did? Who's right? What should the cash outlay be?

TLV-CDG on Air France = $$$
CDG-LAX on Air France = $$$

If it's on an Air France plane, you're gonna get screwed. Period. Doesn't matter if the booking carrier is Delta - you only don't pay the surcharges on Delta planes.
