I'm reading over a Delta Amex offer that came in the mail, and in the companion certificate fine print, I see:
For residents of Alaska/Hawaii, for travel to/from Alaska/Hawaii, U.S. International Air Transportation tax of up to $16.00 round-trip applies.
Oddly, although a quick Google finds this tax mentioned on Delta's web site, I can't seem to find it mentioned on the web site of any other U.S. based airline. So I'm a little curious - is this just Delta dipping into our wallets one more time? Is there an actual government tax the other airlines are forgetting to charge? Are people in Atlanta really so behind the times they haven't realized Alaska and Hawaii are states now?
