departure tax at POP
About a month ago was raised to 20US
I have a little question now. I bought a ticket to the DR before the departure tax increase. When I check in for my flight will I be billed for that and have to pay out of my pocket right there.

Looking forward to my trip
It is Aug 26-Sept 4. All I know is that departure tax was 10US and then it was 20US. I don't know what will happen to those who purchased tickets with the 10US departure tax included, I would think that they would have to pay at the departing airport?

At the check in
AA hit me for ten smackers at the check-in counter on July 6th and gave me a receipt since I paid before the amount went up $20. Still 1,000% better than the old days in the departure lounge first with stamps and then with stickers. I bought my ticket for tomorrow's trip last week so I assume I am paid in full for that.

Thanks Rick/others
Rick,
That is what I expected. I would be envious that you go there so much and I don't but hey in the future I will probably be able to take several trips a year too A favor for me, check to see if the closed down bars, especially the Madhouse will reopen soon, that was my favorite bar on Duarte. Have a great trip and catch you on the flip side If you see Peter and Fleming at La Playa Vista, tell them that Howie, and little Howie are doing great, I think they were suprised to see me bring the baby there and Peter made a big fuss over him. I think I even got a free Presidente Thanks.

Departure Tax
If you booked you trip before the increase, (from $10-$20) you may have the $10 departure tax included as I did. But the charge is in Pesos, so whatever the difference at the time you book and actualy leave the DR is, you pay. Yesteray I got charged the $11 at the counter because I paid in american dollars. I was not going to argue and just asked for a receipt and i will take it up with American Airlines.

Departure Tax
We came back on July 7 and were charged US $20.00 at the Skyservice counter. Previously, the departure tax had already been included with the tickets. Remember, I'm talking about a Canadian charter service. We were incensed as we had no forewarning! What if we didn't have the $$?
