Taxes & Fees

We don't want you to have any unpleasant surprises on your bill. We're making every effort to let you know about any taxes and fees that might be included.

Air Travel

Your itinerary will determine the taxes and fees you pay. They vary widely based on the airports you leave from and arrive at and the country those airports are in. A segment is defined as one take-off and landing. Here are the terms that will help you understand your fare:

  • Base fare: our ticket price plus U.S. excise and departure/arrival taxes when they apply, and may include surcharges
  • Taxes and fees: airport charges, segment fees, the September 11th Security Fee, international taxes and fees, and certain carrier-imposed surcharges on international itineraries
  • Total fare: base fare plus taxes and fees

If you need to make a voluntary change to your ticket, Change Fees may apply that are separate from the taxes and fees listed here.

Hotels

Charges for Hotel Taxes and Service Fees - Prepaid Reservations


In connection with facilitating your hotel transaction, the charge to your debit or credit card will include a charge for taxes and service fees. This charge includes an estimated amount to recover the amount we pay to the hotel in connection with your reservation for taxes owed by the hotel including, without limitation, sales and use tax, occupancy tax, room tax, excise tax, value added tax, and/or other similar taxes.

The amount paid to the hotel in connection with your reservation for taxes may vary from the amount we estimate and include in the charge to you. This charge also includes an amount to cover service costs we incur in connection with handling your reservation. The charge for taxes and service fees varies based on a number of factors including, without limitation, the amount we pay the hotel, and the location of the hotel where you will be staying, and may include profit that we retain.

We are not the vendor collecting and remitting taxes to the applicable taxing authorities. Our hotel suppliers, as vendors, include all applicable taxes in the amount billed to us and we pay over such amounts directly to the vendors. We are not a co-vendor associated with the vendor with whom we book or reserve our customer's travel arrangements. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate and the type of applicable taxes vary greatly by location.


Charges for Hotel Taxes and Service Fees - Paid at Time of Hotel Check-out


We will not charge you for the hotel portion when you complete this transaction on delta.com. You will be charged directly by the hotel at time of check-out for the estimated hotel total. In addition, you will be charged applicable taxes, including without limitation, sales and use tax, occupancy tax, room tax, excise tax, value added tax and/or other similar taxes, by the hotel you select.
