This will likely be the year you begin paying more to use U.S. airports

Whether that and other infrastructure-focused ideas actually gets passed into law is anybody’s guess. Last year it appeared at this point that a measure raising the limit on “Passenger Facility Charges,” or PFCs, charged to consumers who use airports was a sure thing. But the idea of increasing the PFC cap wound up being sacrificed to the gods of political expediency last year in order to reach agreement in Congress on a bill re-authorizing the Federal Aviation Administration and its budget.
Beyond that, if a traveler passes through multiple airports on the same trip, he or she can be charged PFCs by a maximum of two airports. Thus, a round trip involving an intermediate stop each way can add up to $18 to the cost of the flight. Though the Trump administration has taken no public position on raising the PFC cap, the President has been visibly pushing for a big new, expensive infrastructure bill and, therefore, is not seen as a likely impediment to the lifting of the PFC limits.
