vendor must then remit such amounts to the
appropriate taxing authorities. In order

governmental fees and other charges, Rocket Fare
imposes a tax recovery charge on
transactions as outlined above.
Service

all other airlines. To the extent any

more than six tickets begins a new

e-tickets and paper tickets. There is no
service fee on air transactions that are a
part of a travel package (for example a
Last Minute Deal or vacation package), or
