2. where do you check-in?
3. do you cross over any time zone?
4. are there any good seats to ask for elite member?
5. Reg first class or is busniess first offer on this flight?
6. do you pay any depature tax when leaving nas?
7. Do you clear customs when coming back to ewr and terminal b or c

2. With CO.
3. Check a map.
4. www.seatguru.com
5. Check the schedule.
6. ?
7. Yes. Yes.

1) It looks like its the 737-800
2) With CO at Terminal C
3) No
4) Not sure
5) I believe it is just the regular business class
6) IIRC, you do pay a small tax upon departure, then again, its been a few years since I've been there. You're travel agent should know.
7) Terminal C. CO has no operations at Terminal B.

I think CO uses terminal B even in the absence of serious irregular ops - I think that just a couple of delayed flights occupying terminal C international arrival gates are enough to force CO to use terminal B during the peak European arrival period.

NAS Departure Tax
 

Hey,

Responding back on this, is there a departure tax that has to be tendered at NAS?

No, you do not pay a departure tax in NAS.

I've never heard of an airport in any country making you pay to leave. If anything the departure tax is built into the ticket price.

Oh there are most certainly countries that force you to pay a departure tax, though CO includes it within the fare when possible. My wife and I paid a cash only tax when we departed Antigua a couple years ago...

Lima, Peru.
Approx. $28.00 USD.
Pay after check in and right before immigration out of the country.

Yes, San Jose, CR also requires departure tax in cash paid by pax.
around $25-26

In addition, some countries, like Chile, require a $100 quasi-visa fee, payable in cash on arrival. Essentially, since you do not need a visa to enter, you pay the same fee as the Chileans do for a US visa. It is a one time fee valid through life of passport, though.

Try Japan and other Asian cities. Many have machines where you purchase tax vouchers,

6. There is a departure tax. You only need to pay it if it is not already included in your ticket. For three out of my four trips to NAS, the departure tax was included in my ticket price. Only once has the check-in agent asked me to pay the tax in cash.

7. You do not need to clear customs in EWR. US Customs & Immigration are set-up in NAS. You will clear there, before you even go through security. After security, you will wait in NAS' "US Departure Lounge", which is just the gate area for US Bound departing passengers who have already cleared US Customs & Immigration.

Now I have heard of it :)

I was just in Nassau and Tokyo back in March and didn't pay a departure tax. Headed to Thailand in two weeks, will see then !

There is a B$15 departure tax by air from The Bahamas

CO includes this in the ticket.
