Exemption from Mexico departure tax?
Does this qualify for the Mexico Tourism and Departure tax exemption since I am in Mexico for less than 24 hours. AA didn't think so but I just wanted to make sure

I don’t believe it does, given you are definitely not in the exemption zone generally covered.
As this is about Travel to Mexico and isn’t related to a specific airline, we will move this to the Mexico forum. /Moderator |
It may qualify for the tourism tax exemption, but it will not qualify for the departure tax exemption, as that's an airport usage fee - it's wrongly translated into English as 'departure tax'.
PS: I stand corrected - the AA page on tax refunds does indeed state that you qualify for both. In my experience, just request a refund after your travel is complete referring to the AA tax exemption page, and you should be set. |
Just a quick update: Yes both taxes were refunded

I called after travel and a agent advised to go to prefunds.aa.com and submit the reason for refund as tax exempt and comment that I was in Mexico for less than 24 hours. The refund was approved the following day.
