same flight route but higher tax?
I searched a flight from Kelowna BC to Halifax NS
July 3rd. adult ticket. I came up with 2 west jet flights with different times.
They both have one stop in Calgary.
BUT one flights taxes is 96.58 and the other is only 65.49
The only thing I noticed was that the first flight number from Kelowna to Calgary was different.
One was 112 and the other was 114 (lower tax)
The flights from Calgary to Halifax were the same. 228.
What is going on?
Does anyone have an explanation for this?

Usually early morning flights will have less tax on them, because people don't want to get up to get on a plane for 6:30am. So if they find a way to lower anything on the cost, more people will be likely to want to travel on that early flight. Also if you have a longer transfer, that's not as convenient for passengers.

It makes sense for certain days because of supply and demand, but your hypothesis is flawed. It is not true for every day. Some days starting trip in USA is cheaper other days starting in Europe is cheaper. Change your query to have different days (Monday vs. Friday vs. Tuesday) Changing your trip query dates from 10-12 to 17-19 doesn't change anything, you are still flying out on the same day and returning on the same day. If you are doing this I expect for flights originating from USA will always be cheaper because you are flying on the same days.

Flight numbers have no bearing on cost. The additional cost may be due to a popular flight time.
