U.S. Transportation Tax and Flight Segment Tax Exemptions Have Expired   

Effective on/after January 1, 2021, any tickets issued between March 28, 2020 and December 31, 2020 that were exempt from the U.S. Transportation Tax (US) and the Flight Segment Tax (ZP) that need to be reissued will be subject to collection of these taxes, if the ticket qualifies. Travel agents will need to reprice the itinerary and collect the current US and ZP taxes, if applicable, in addition to any additional fare collection and/or administrative fees.
