How do flight taxes work from USA to Europe and why do they change depending on location? For example, most flights have around $200 taxes on them, but some have up to $400. Why? Is this changeable?
Also, is it possible to find a summer flight from USA to Europe for under $800 from a legitimate source?

Because each state has little different laws. [who]
Some taxes are imposed by the airport operator– and as such they will very from airport to airport.. Others however are national taxes and are the same regardless of where (within the same country) you depart.
With international tickets you also have to remember that there are two sets of taxes: DEPARTURE as well as ARRIVAL taxes.. For example, on a UK-USA ticket, the UK government imposes departure taxes as well as taxes set by the UK airport operator. The US government also imposes taxes on all passengers arriving into the US to help offset the costs of Immigration, Agriculture and Customs handling..
Remember that ticket taxes are not set nor controlled by the airlines– they are set by the government, local taxing authority and/or airport operator- and it falls to the airlines to collect them on behalf of the government and remit them accordingly… Only fees (such as fuel surcharges) and the like are airline controlled.
