Not yet. The September 11 Security Fee is still $2.50/segment, maximum $10 per round trip.
Most stupid tax enactment ever. Airline industry is obviously swirling in the toilet in November, 2001, and yet Congress passes a new tax on air travel. Since then, billions of dollars of airline losses (and billions of dollars of September 11 Security Fees collected).
