I just did a dummy booking for travel in mid-August and, as seen below, they did not charge the federal excise tax (7.5%). I can't see how you'd be entitled to a refund of something that wasn't charged...
Carrier US TXA7NJ4 BOS to PHX (rules)
Passenger type ADT, one-way fare, booking code T
Covers BOS-PHX (Coach)
$133.60
US September 11th Security Fee (AY) $2.50
US Passenger Facility Charge (XF) $4.50
Subtotal per passenger $140.60
Number of passengers x1
TOTAL AIRFARE & TAXES $140.60
I appreciate your repsonse, but I'm afraid you missed the point. US Airways stopped charging these fees on 07/23/11 (at the same time they raised their fares), which is why your dummy booking doesn't show the fees. I understand that.
The point is that I purchased all the tickets in question PRIOR TO 07/23/11 for travel AFTER 07/23/11. That made me wonder whether I might be entitled to a refund for the taxed they certainly did charge me at the time of purchase.
