Yes, there's an isolated BE T fare. But again, it's only the one-way fares that have the exception, and not roundtrip fares. If you want to avoid the tax, buy a roundtrip ticket and not one-way's (assuming you can meet the min stay requirements). Or fly into OAK where DL competes with WN and does not have same leverage and all fares are one-ways with standard $35 diff. Not seeing it on EF on any other west coast routes (SMF/PDX/SEA/LAX/ONT etc.).

ATL-SFO one-way fares




ATL-SFO roundtrip fare filings with $35 each way difference between fares -- VFUNA5BG/VFUNA5MF == $196/$266.
