All pricing now includes air fuel surcharges per U.S. D.O.T Regulations. Air taxes are additional. In the past fuel surcharges were paid with final payment and were collected along with the taxes, now the fuel surcharge is collected as part of the package price. Bottom line is the same. You are not paying more now, you did not pay less before!
