I want to buy my next flight online because it is cheaper than buying from agents. I think though that the agent would include other items such as vat, airport tax etc in their price. Please can someone give me a list of such extra charges and the amount of each. I want to go to Frankfurt by Lufthansa. Thanks

Taxes : 120343.00

Taxes are imposed by POE airports and passed unto customers.
Some countries have lower airport taxes than others. But other charges are also included, like use of toilet facilities, security etc etc etc
