Intl Departure Tax @ Dm Is B1000, What Thievery...

[bangkokburning]

At least intake into Thailand (not depature note) was quick, but that is scandal price for such an airport.

Just sayin...

[chiang mai]

Departure tax is usually included in the cost of the ticket, anyway, I thought it was only 700 baht, when did it change?

From the AirAsia website:

12. Will there be changes in Airport Tax?

As much as we would like to set and determine airport taxes and how airports are run to service you better, this is all determined by Airports of Thailand. We merely are responsible for collecting it from our passengers and passing it along in full back to the airport authorities. For more information on Airports of Thailand and to contact them regarding airport taxes and services please submit feedback to them here: http://www.airportthai.co.th/ewtadmin85_AOT/ewt/donmueang/main.php?filename=feedback___EN

Unfortunately, I can't open the link. Maybe someone else can!

AoT announced an increase in both domestic and international PSCs, but I thought not effective until next year? And only to 800 baht?

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/587769-airports-of-thailand-to-hike-suvarnabhumi-airport-passenger-service-charges/

I guess if you purchasing a ticket today for travel on/after 1/1/13 you might have to pay 800 baht?

[chiang mai]

So how much is departure tax these days, come on all you international jet setters, spill the beans?

[theoldgit]

I don't like any increases in the prices of anything, but I wonder how the new price compares with other airports in the region, and don't get me on the UK's passenger taxes.

Many thanks.

Current Passenger Service fee is 700 baht for int'l and 100 baht for domestic (200 baht for a R/T or 2 segments)..

I think it is going up to 800 baht and 150 baht, respectively, as of 1/1/13, but it is still pricing at 700 baht so maybe AoT's implementation has been delayed?

And people complain about less than 20 pounds ?

[chiang mai]

And people complain about less than 20 pounds ?

Yes, because we're discussing Thailand and not the UK and earnings are relative!

Let's stay on topic chaps

This is the deal. I have no idea if AA is broken or <deleted> but my wife punched in a destination and date and it came up 1000b.

Ok, this is insane. So I picked Jan 23 for ICN, DPS & some place else I forget. The fees DEPART fees ranged from 700 to 1360! !!

So <deleted>??

HKG 1050 this is insane, why are these fees changing?!

Code = DMK

Yeah, when the ticket is 65 quid I will gripe abput a 20 pound tax on top of it.

I think you are getting your panties all bunched up.

You are confusing the Passenger Service Charges for the DEPARTING airport - DMK, with the DESTINATION airport - HKG.

The PSC for DMK is 700 THB.

Carry on Sir.

[bangkokburning]

Wow sorry for all that. I never realized that their are essentially hidden arrival fees as well. I thought it was all.packed into departures. TIL - solly.

[phuketrichard]

just brought two tickets Phuket-KL on air asia departing Nov 20th

fare fees and taxes ( for 2 tickets) HKT-KL 1,840 Baht

KL-HKT 1,100 Baht

That represents a combination of the AoT PSC (700 THB) + fuel surcharge (220 THB) and the KLIA PSC (330 THB) + fuel surcharge (220 THB). The HKT international PSC is still 700 baht.
