How many Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs) are collected for the itinerary Oakland (OAK) – Seattle (SEA) – St. Louis (STL) – Minneapolis (MSP) if all are PFC airports except for SFO?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer: (C)

PFCs are charged for each airport on the itinerary that has PFC status. In this route, the airports involved that are PFC airports are OAK, SEA, STL, and MSP. That means a PFC is collected at each of those four airports along the itinerary. SFO is not a PFC airport, so it does not add to the count. Even though there are three flight segments, the total number of PFC charges is four because four PFC airports are touched on this itinerary.
