Taxes and fees are subject to change.
Taxes are quoted in local currency but all purchases are paid in USD, with the current exchange rate applied at the time of ticketing/purchase. An itemized break-up of the total amount owed (including the fare and applicable taxes, fees and surcharges) can be calculated from the table above. If you require assistance with calculating the exact amounts applicable to your planned itinerary prior to booking, or if you have any other questions regarding the amount owed in taxes, fees, and surcharges, you may email Delta's Reservations Department. Please provide the specific routing, including origination and destination cities and all connecting cities, for your planned itinerary. We will respond as soon as possible with the required break-up of the fare and total amount owed. To avoid any changes in fares that may occur, you may obtain this information from us after purchasing a ticket at the indicated total price.
In connection with facilitating your hotel transaction, the charge to your credit/debit 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.
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 the time of checkout 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.
