Given that, I'm not sure I see the appeal of airways transit. Even if tipping was different the taxi seems like it would end up cheaper"
Yes they do. And then $105 for the way back. The extra $15 is a fee they have to pay to wait at the airport. When they drop you off they can do it right at the departures area, but they can't loiter at arrivals for the pick-up so have to wait in some sort of bullpen on site. But it would be your cab. It wouldn't simply be there to pick up just anyone.
