IB improperly collecting U.S. PFCs on domestic AA award redemptions.
How do we get IB to stop collecting the $4.50 per segment PFCs on redemptions for AA travel within the U.S.? Because there are no carrier-imposed surcharges on these redemptions, the U.S. government considers them to be "free" tickets, to which the PFCs do not apply. (Neither AA nor BA collects PFCs on such redemptions.)
