Travel taxes

Remember seeing a cheap fare online? But when you picked all the dates, and at the end before you place your order, you see the price was much more than you expected to pay? Well, there are travel taxes.

Here are some sample of travel tax you might be paying for air travel:

Ticket tax rate= 7.5%
Sept 11th fee= $2.50
Flight-segment fee= $3.40
Facility charge= up to $4.50 per segment, about $18 round trip


Hotel tax varies on cities:

Los Angeles= 14%
San Francisco=14.05%
San Jose= 18.25%
