Everything is a tax of some kind, except for YQ which is the fuel surcharge and is revenue to Virgin.

yes, I appreciate they are all taxes. Just wondered what they mean

YQ = VS 100% imposed and controlled fuel surcharge - NOT a tax

GB - UK APD (and deffo a tax as imposed by the UK Government)
US = USA Transportation tax=(and deffo a tax as imposed by the US Government)
UB = Manchester Airport user fees

The rest are misc user fees for various services like US customs etc.

If you click on the 'fare breakdown' link then the 'taxes, feets etc' tab they are all listed with the 'plain' English descriptions.
