2 notes on getting this done:
If the customer is connecting via Great Britain or France, the tax does not apply
If the customer is connecting via Great Britain or France and holds 2 separate tickets, the tax will not apply if the tickets are cross referenced. Please document PNR with:
** PASSENGERS CONNECTING VIA GB/FR IN PNR XXXXXX FOR TKT INFO. PREMIUM TAX DOES NOT APPLY **
and, this one, much older:
Separate Tickets - Tax based on Connection/Stopover
For separate tickets when taxes are based on connection or stopover status, AA will not collect the additional tax when separate tickets have been issued.
Example: GB tax. We will only do this if we can see both tickets (see Note 1). Cross reference the tickets in the endorsement box if possible. When applicable, the passenger will pay any additional tax at the airport. This separate ticket tax procedure will apply to all taxes that are charged based on connection/stopover status and is not dependent on ticket stock. This policy does not apply to ZED tickets (added 22Sep09, per A.Zmolik) or any other OPEN ticket (added 15Oct09, per M.Blair).
Note1: Viewing both tickets is not necessary If a passenger has cross referenced PNRs or two PQs in one PNR that are unticketed. We will accept the bookings as proof of the passenger's intent to have continuing connecting/stopover space.
