Due to inaction by the U.S. Congress, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization bill was not passed. As a result, the FAA began experiencing a partial shutdown at midnight on Friday, July 22, 2011.
As a result of this "inaction", airlines, while you were sleeping, immediately implemented fare increases to offset any potential savings for travelers.
Business Travel Coalition and Travel Management Companies (TMC's) are raising the issue that travelers who are traveling during the shutdown may be due tax refunds for taxes already paid when they purchased their tickets for travel prior to July 22.
Premiere Travel will be keeping track of these taxes paid by our clients in the event that a determination is made that refunds are due, and will file any necessary paperwork and claims on their behalf.
