Last week I booked with Garuda, taxes were $211.02, my sister using her FF paid $243.02 taxes. When I got a FF in July it was only $213 in taxes so I tried to figure out why she paid so much more but assume it is the fuel surcharge. I did think when reading that Garuda are in financial trouble they should also have a fuel surcharge to recoup costs which may help their future. God help Bali if they go bust too.
I'm not sure if you are paying extra as a FF booking but moreso its just that Qantas taxes are higher. I agree to ring QFF as they could explain it.
But its all about perspective - my sister got a trip to Bali for only $243.02 and saved $566 (on what I paid) - what a bargain!! and only 10 weeks to go!!
