THanks for the info... quick google results the departure tax is only around 20USD though. She seemed adament that it was a US arrival tax of some form. Sent it off to a friend of mine who works in a pass bureau in the US, i&#39;ll see what she makes of it [/b]
My guess is that it&#39;s a fuel surcharge - which vary from airline to airline, station to station. Some carriers are removing or lowering fuel charges to stay competitive; but to the "outside" world, it likely looks pretty random.
