Airfare, CDG-TLS
As I said in my previous post, Air France seems to be better at itemizing taxes and fees. However, it's impossible to find the itemized list after paying! So I actually went back and went through the process of buying another ticket to get these numbers. This is for a $50 ticket for intra-Franco travel:
Airport fee: 18.30
Passenger service charge: 16.19
French airport tax: 5.98
VAT adjustment tax: 2.31
Solidarity tax: 1.44
Solidarity tax? That's a new one. Investopedia says it's a tax used to provide funds for unifying projects of the country. However this article states that it is a 1 euro charge per ticket that is used to fund international health programs (tuberculosis, etc).

Airfare, JFK-CDG; MAD-JFK
Unlike my January flight, I paid with frequent flier miles. Still, I was required to pay real money for some of the taxes and fees. Here's the breakdown of the $39.50 I paid for 2 one-way tickets:
US APHIS Fee: 5.00
US INS User Fee: 7.00
US Customs User Fee: 5.50
Other Int'l Charge: 15.80
Other Int'l Charge: 3.70
USA Passenger Civil Aviation Security Service Fee: 2.50
Apparently, redeeming an award ticket results in some waived fees. For example, there wasn't an International Transportation tax of $16.30. Also, the above itinerary doesn't have any connections, so maybe that cuts down on additional airport facility fees.
I have to say that Air France was more specific in describing the fees compared to Delta. Delta informed me that the 5.50, 15.80, and 3.70 were separate charges, but didn't describe what they are. I was able to guess that the 5.50 was the customs fee, since it matched what I had for my January flight. I'm guessing the 15.80 is probably an international airport facility fee, and the 3.70 is an international security fee.

New York Law Enforcement Fee
I received my bi-annual auto insurance renewal papers recently. Beneath the line item for "6-mo policy renewal", there was another line, "NY Law Enforcement Fee". A separate page describes that a fee of $10 annually is collected by auto insurers and remitted to NY State "for activities related to the detection, prevention and reduction of automobile theft and related activities".
