Traveling by Air in China

18. International Airport Tax

In the past you had to pay an airport tax. On domestic flights the tax was 50 Yuan and on international flights the tax was 90 Yuan. It was rather a silly inefficient system. One booth to sell you the tax stamp and another to check that you have it and tear off the stub. Now they just add that cost to your airline ticket and the airline collects the money and pays the government. They have removed the stub from this ticket.
