taxes on domestic travel in conjunction with international travel
Probably not UA specific, but I saw this in B6's website:
And I remember UA did this for me many many years ago - the agent booking my flight realized I was coming in on an international flight (different PNR) and removed/reduced the taxes on my domestic ticket.
Does anyone know more about this - if it is possible to take advantage of this and how?
Per the ARC Industry Agent Handbook, a separate ticket issued for the domestic portion of an international journey may be taxed on the basis of an international trip provided that:
The person purchasing the domestic ticket shows the international ticket to the agency receiving payment.
The agency inscribes the international ticket with an appropriate notation.
For clarity, in order for US domestic taxes to be exempt, the domestic ticket must show the following:
Agency identification
Origin & Destination of the international transportation
Carrier furnishing the international transportation
Ticket number for the international transportation
Please include this information in the endorsements using the format highlighted below, however please do not remove the required JetBlue endorsements.
Example: NONREF - FEE FOR CHG/CXL - BA175 LHRJFK 1259876543210
If this information is not included on the JetBlue domestic ticket and US taxes are excluded a debit memo will be issued to collect the missing taxes.
