Departure Tax
I have a US flight out of PUJ. How do I find out if the Dominican Republic departure tax is included in the price of my ticket?

If it was included it should be in the breakdown of the ticket price.
Jim
PS - just did a dummy booking and the $139 in taxes/fees is quite a bit more than what the U.S. imposes.

The taxes we pay to fly in the United States are relatively low when compared to the rest of the world.

In 2008 there was a fee collection station at PUJ where they collected $20 cash or the like. I think this was on the departure so bring money with you just in case.
