Since 1973, Federal law has prohibited local airports from imposing head taxes or departure fees on passengers.

The action will also permit travel-related payments by individuals, including departure fees and ticket taxes.

A Bahamian departure fee, taxes and fuel charges are not included.

In addition, many countries have departure fees that are collected at the time of ticket purchase or upon exiting the foreign country.

Previously, the agency had allowed only the $3 departure fee to be broken out.

All states except Yap have a departure fee that you must pay when you are leaving.

Prices do not include United States or foreign departure fees, which may total $50.

Airline passengers already pay an 8 percent Federal ticket tax, and the departure fee has been viewed as duplicative.

Air travelers now pay only a $6 departure fee.

However, there is a departure fee of $20.
