Did you miss your chance to take advantage of the lowered taxes?

Although taxes might be back - Oojo's prices are so highly discounted that you won't even feel the difference.

The U.S. Congress has reached an agreement to temporarily extend full funding for
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through September 16 and as a result,
the FAA authority to collect federal aviation taxes will be reinstated.

For tickets booked beginning 12:01am on Monday August 8 the following taxes will
apply:
The 7.5% tax generally applicable to domestic transportation (as well the 7.5% tax
on amounts received from the sale of "frequent flyer miles".)
The $3.70 domestic segment tax.
The $16.30 international arrival/departure tax.
The $8.20 departure tax for flights between Alaska/Hawaii and the mainland US.

Please refer to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service website for further information regarding the treatment of taxes for tickets previously issued.
