Comment on 64$ the ticket, 1040$ surcharge.

  The hotels receipts I’ve seen (I worked approving travel expenses, so I’ve seen a lot) they differentiate between specific locally mandated fees and their own fees (which is probably part of the legislation that compels them).

    Yeah this is what I’ve seen, especially in big destination cities like Chicago and New York City where they’ll have extra taxes for the city and sometimes also for the extremely desirable part of the city the hotel happens to be in. I think even I had one that had federal, state, county, city and neighborhood taxes, each as its own line item, adding about $40/night to the cost all said and done

  Then why do they vary by hotel?

  You’ve got the right idea for the European system though. “Tourist tax”. It’s usually low enough that it’s not a big deal, but I was shocked when I checked in at a hotel in Greece and the receptionist wanted 5€/night from me.

    I booked a hotel in New Orleans with points, when I got there they charged me $20 per night. Pretty sure it was bullshit because I’ve never had that anywhere else when paying with points.
