Which statement best describes how many PFCs can be charged on a round-trip ticket?

• A. Two PFCs maximum
• B. Three PFCs maximum
• C. Four PFCs maximum
• D. Six PFCs maximum

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is how PFCs are charged on a ticket and the typical structure of a round trip. A PFC is charged per flight segment for a passenger, so the total number of PFCs on a ticket depends on how many flight segments you have in the itinerary. For a round trip, you consider outbound and return separately. In many common round-trip itineraries, you can have up to two segments on the outbound and up to two on the return, which leads to four PFC charges in total. That’s why four is the maximum number that can appear on a round-trip ticket. If your itinerary is simpler (one segment each way), you’d see fewer PFCs, but the ceiling under these rules is four.
