Why are the taxes so high? What are the taxes for? (Why are there taxes included in the price and what are they for?)
Federal, state and local governments assess a variety of taxes and fees in association with traveling and transportation. For example, U.S. airports charge airlines a Passenger Facilities Charge or PFC for every passenger on arriving and departing flights to cover airport costs. Airlines, in turn, pass that fee on to us and we pass it on to you. If you buy a flight from the airline directly, they would pass this nominal charge directly to you.
Because state and local governments have the ability to set their own tax rates, we are unable to give you all the potential rates.
