Does anyone know if there is penalty regime of taxes and charges for journeys originating from ZRH? That is, penalise Swiss residents leaving the country, encourage visitors/tourists into the country.

I ask as I have been playing around with some potential uses for my frequent flyer points. Considering that regardless of direction, the same number of take-offs and landings occur. The odd results for taxes & charges are:

Dubai-Zurich-Dubai 49chf
Zurich-Dubai-Zurich 267chf
Perth-Dubai-Zurich-Dubai-Perth chf100
Zurich-Dubai-Perth-Dubai-Zurich chf300+

Not looking a gift horse in the mouth, just intrigued :-)
We've noticed that all flights from Zürich are more expensive than one starting from "the other end".

My own view is that the airport has to claw back a lot of costs and debt (new terminals etc) after SwissAir went tits up.
