Domestic Trip and US INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTATION TAX (UNITED STATES)
I haven't really looked at ticket breakdowns in awhile, but I currently have tickets for DFW-LAS
Adult base fare (per passenger)$252.09
PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGE (UNITED STATES)$9.00 USD
SEGMENT TAX (UNITED STATES)$8.40 USD
US INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTATION TAX (UNITED STATES)$18.91 USD
US SECURITY FEE (UNITED STATES)$11.20 USD
Total$299.60 USD
Is there supposed to be an "International Transportation Tax" on domestic tickets?
EDIT: Never mind.. This seems to be the standard 7 1/2 percent tax.. I don't know why it says "INTERNATIONAL"

checking on ITA, the tax with code of "US" is listed there as "US Transportation Tax" ; for an international flight the same tax has the name "US International Departure Tax"
Looks like AA is just selecting the incorrect description
