Wasn't expecting that...
I guess I'm just stupid when it comes to inter-continental travel, but I just found a ticket to Athens, Greece where I'd end up paying almost five dollars more in taxes alone than for the actual airfare. o__0 Is this normal?
Total cost: $1390.89
Airfare: $693.00
Taxes: $697.89
Damn. But here's the good part: there's a 12-hour delay....IN LONDON. That's like a little mini-trip in itself! IN LONDON.
Before you get your panties all twisted, let me clarify that I'm not going to Athens or London anytime soon. I was just playing around online, to see what my options were if I was able to save enough money. Morocco still looks like a sure bet for late 2009/early 2010, though. And that includes a 6-hour delay in Amsterdam!
