DALLAS-- Some airline customers won't see savings this weekend even though several federal taxes on tickets have expired.
US Airways and American Airlines raised fares to offset the tax savings.
That means instead of passing along the savings from expired taxes, the carriers are pocketing the money while customers pay the same amount as before.

I was reading that if you did not pay the tax that later when you fly the airlines could possibly collect the tax. Sounds like something they would do. All of them (except for Southwest/Air Tran) are greedy.
The airlines will collectively raise their fares equal to the current FAA tax rate in anticipation that the Government will require them to repay the lost taxes once a FAA Bill is passed.
