Hi to all;

I dont know if this thing was already posted.

But I would like to know if upon departure from the Philippines going to the USA I need to pay TRAVEL TAX + TERMINAL FEE = Php 1620 + Php 750 = Php 2370?

When did they impose this travel tax? I went to Japan on July 2008, I dont remember paying this TRAVEL TAX thing. All I could remember is the terminal fee of Php 750.

I flew to the Philippines from the US 4x in the past year, each time the travel tax was included with the airfare. The terminal fee is P750 for international flights, P200 for domestic (within PHL).

I read that fees only apply to Filipino citizens or the likes.

hmm parang baliktad yata yan usually when you purchase an e-ticket travel tax is not included yet but if you purchase your ticket locally like in any travel agent sa pinas or PAL they include na the travel tax pag nagbayad ka kaya pag dating mo ng NAIA ung terminal fee na lng ang babayaran mo correct me if im wrong people :unsure:

03.14.2011 -------I-751 sent overnight

03.15.2011 -------package says "Delivered"

03.30.2011 -------ASC Appointment Notice Received

I'm the wife of an American Soldier;

I'm the hope that lives within him after storm clouded days.

The freedom from war that gives wings to his heart,

May they reach across the miles and bind our hearts together

against all that we must face in this world. ❤

I have always been charged travel tax, included in the price of the ticket. The terminal fee only applies upon DEPARTURE from an airport in the Philippines. So:

US-PHL, travel tax but no terminal fee

PHL-US, travel tax and 750P terminal fee

PHL-PHL, small travel tax and 200P terminal fee
