Today, President Bush signed into law the war-related supplemental appropriations bill, which includes roughly $3 billion in financial assistance to the airlines. One provision of this bill suspends collection of the 9/11 security fee (up to $10 per itinerary) through September 30, 2003. (The starting date is either April 1 or June 1. I haven't been able to determine which date is in the version the president signed.)

The airlines have been imposing this fee on award tickets. Will they still collect it during the "holiday"? Does anybody have any information on this?
