MX introduces security surcharge
 

MX has followed LH's suit and is charging a US$6 security charge per segment. I understand this applies only for international travel, since I flew 8 MX and AM domestic segments from Monday - Thursday and no additional charges applied. Only today, Friday, as I checked-in for my flight MEX-LAX was I billed.

Isn't it the FAA in the US that has imposed this new charge to cover improvements to airport security? I believe such a measure is included in the new Airline Act that went through the House last week. Expect to see many more of these fees added in other countries.

Shareholder-- Im wondering how the FAA could impose a surcharge for a non US based airport. In any event, on my return leg on MX out of LAX, I was not charged this additional fee.
