Additional Airline Taxes (on top of the airline fare for the trip):

1. Travel Tax totaling 1620p

2. Terminal Tax totaling 580p

3. Security Tax totaling 250p

When my wife traveled back in Nov06 there were only the first two taxes on top of the airline fare that Philippine citizens had to pay before departing. Can someone please confirm whether #3 (Security Tax) exists?

Cheers!!!

The Manila International Airport Authority has added a Security Development Charge (SDC) of PHP200.00 to the current Passenger Service Charge (PSC) of PHP550.00 making the total fee for passengers of international flights equivalent to PHP750.00. The Passenger Service Charge and the Security Development Charge combined shall now be referred to as the Airport Users Charge (AUC).

All departing passengers on international flights shall pay the AUC, unless exempted by law, treaty, executive agreement, or other similar issuances. A non-exempt passenger who refuses to pay the AUC shall not be allowed to board the aircraft. The AUC shall be paid in Philippine Peso or its equivalent in US Dollars based on the prevailing exchange rate. The AUC will be paid at any of the designated booths located at the Departure lobby upon presentation of the Boarding Pass.

The following passengers shall be exempt from payment of the AUC: Infants/Children below two years of age, Transit Passengers, Refugees, Pilgrims, Airline Cabin Crews, Overseas Filipino Workers, Athletes and Sports Officials, Deportees, and others authorized by the law. Various documents shall be presented with the Boarding Pass of the passenger who is qualified for exemption. The increase is effective starting February 01, 2007.

So just to clarify, the only fees needed to leave Manila Int'l is the 750 pesos for AUC, right? There is nothing else to pay for?

Thanks so much for the info.

if the ticket is with tax inclusion then she will just have to pay for the airport fee which is 750pesos.

[island_princess 2]

In our eticket, we paid these...

U.S. Customs User Fee: 5.50

U.S. Immigration User Fee:7.00

U.S. APHIS User Fee: 5.00

U.S. Federal Transportation Tax: 15.10

U.S. Security Service Fee: 5.00

U.S. Passenger Facility Charge: 4.50

Does this mean, no more taxes for us except for the MNL taxes?

Thats true, but everybody who will leaving the country would pay those fees.

Travel Tax - this included in the ticket purchase

Terminal Fee - to be paid at the airport intrance

What about stop-over airports? Do we have to pay some kind of a terminal fee too? How much?

Here are my stop-overs:

Guam

Honolulu (for change plane)

Houston

Orlando

i dont know about that just ask the Airline where you purchase the ticket.

[vsmtghdy 2]

If the ticket was purchased in the Philippines, the travel tax is usually already included in the fee. If the ticket was purchased outside the Philippines, then she may have to pay the Philippine travel tax (they have PTA counter at NAIA).

Travel tax for Economy Class: p1,620.00

Travel tax for First Class: p2,700.00

Terminal fee is p550.00 plus the Security fee/charge of p200.00 = Total of: p750/passenger

Island_princess -> I don't think there are terminal fees for stop-overs. We had a stop-over at SFO then to Redding and we did not pay any terminal fees there. I'm not sure. Maybe others can give light on this.

Just to make things clear as mud. I last travelled from Cebu in April 2007 and was only charged the p550...no security fee. Could it be that the 200 is for Manila airport only? Anyway I would suggest that your dear one have all she needs and she can always trade it in for us at any of the exchange stations.

Good luck to you all, my baby has her visa and is on her way home in the next two weeks!

You are correct! You will only have to pay Philippine taxes. Other taxes incurred in the US are already added to the price of the ticket. Have a nice trip!!

Mahalo... That was the number my feeble memory was trying to recall. Can I assume that tickets bought on the web (looks like Continental at this point) would not be inclusive of this charge?

In general, is the whole process simpler if the ticket is purchased in PI??
