Going down in September for the first time since our residency was granted.
So I took a look at the UA receipt for our r/t trip back for Thanksgiving.
We used points so airfare was $0.
The taxes, fees, etc. were over $120, of which $102 goes to the RD government!
So a pair of 'free' r/t tickets EWR-POP cost almost $250!!
