Even though it's become increasingly easy to amass rewards travel points on most major airlines, it's not only gotten more difficult to cash in those points for free tickets, those "free" tickets could end up costing you hundreds in taxes and fuel surcharges.

Unfortunately, the New York Times reports that a growing number of international carriers are adding this surcharge, regardless of whether or not you're carrying a frequent flier voucher.
