I think just as the others have noted, that most carriers roll it into the cost of the ticket so no one really knows about it... or maybe some don't charge. I only pay $.50 when walking across the boarder to and from Matamoros and Progress, Mexico. Who knows.

I did a mini vacation to Puerto Vallarta a few months ago and paid no departure tax.

unraveled sweaters - sounds like sumthng HIZHONUR would think of doing ( personnaly, I just prefer to take them off in one piece

klc, too funny!

Laurie... are ya sure the airline didn't roll the cost into the ticket bcuz Puerto Vallarta definitely charges.

This is BS. You ever wonder why so many complain about all of the airlines but you hear little bad about Continental??? I always fly with them. If the flight is delayed, there is a reason. They don't just delay the flights to [#%!] people off. It's for good reason. American makes me sick and so does Southwest with their crabby hostesses!!!

Hmmmm spl, sounds like someone needs a nap. I don't think any airline delays flights just to [#%!] people off. I have had a bad experience on Continental as well. Lost luggage and crappy attitude. But, just chalk it up to those who serve the puplic. Sometimes we all have a bad day. But, I almost always have a good experience on AA, and they are easy to deal with. You don't get out of paying the fee, whether it's included in your ticket or before you pass through security. The best thing is to look at your ticket. It will have it written on it somewhere (usually) that it includes all transfer/departure fees. If it doesn't, ask at the counter when you get your boarding pass in the US (if you don't do one of those self ticketing thingies)

there you go. Someone always coming to the rescue for the crap airlines. They should hire good people like you.

I get the ticketing thingies. thanks.

LOL...I don't rescue anyone who doesn't deserve it. And, I am glad you get the ticketing thingies...I use air miles usually, so can't do it. But,I guess my whole point is be aware of what you are paying, and what you are getting. Not just airlines, but other stuff, too. I don't think AA is a crap airline, but you are entitled to you opinion. I know they have always treated me well, and that's all I have to go on.

Whew!....
We use them too. Of course the air-miles we have accumulated aren't always as good as it sounds...some days they are full with "paying" customers. Of course, we change our plans....or....Pay and get the seat we want. Amazing how fast those seats open up then... Oh well, doesn't matter. ( what good are air-miles if you don't get to use them?)
We've played it every way possible and it doesn't matter, we still travel....and pay to exit one way or another.

This was just an informational post.

TQ: Out of curiosity, I looked at my ticket to PV and you are right about the departure tax included with ticket. I did Suntrips and the package deal included that fee. If you go, you have to pay to get in and pay to get out too!
