So a $79 "airfare" is really $73.49 plus $5.51 of excise tax. I apologize for causing confusion!Īirlines are required to list airfares as the sum of the base amount plus the 7.5% excise tax. I'm famously not a morning person, and I managed to type less (per the language of the OP) when I had structured the sentence in a way that more was required.
