What is the maximum number of Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs) that can be collected on a round-trip ticket?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer: (C)

PFCs are charges assessed by airports for passenger use of facilities, and they apply for each flight segment that originates from an airport where a PFC is in effect. On a round-trip itinerary, you travel outbound and then inbound. If the route includes more than one segment that begins at a PFC airport, you can accumulate multiple PFCs in a single direction. Since this can happen in both directions, you could have up to two PFCs outbound and up to two PFCs inbound, for a total of four PFC charges on one round-trip ticket. That’s why four is the maximum.
