Which scenario could likely incur a segment tax?

Choosing to take a flight to a U.S. destination can indeed incur a segment tax, which is a specific charge associated with air travel. This tax is often applicable when travelers book flights that involve segments of air travel originating from or within U.S. territory. The U.S. government implements such taxes as a way to generate revenue for aviation infrastructure and safety programs.

In the context of air travel, a segment refers to each individual leg of a journey. Therefore, if a traveler is on a round-trip flight with multiple legs, the segment tax could be applied to each leg of that journey. This is an important consideration for agents when calculating the total cost of a flight for clients.

In contrast, travel packages, hotel bookings, and ground transportation services do not generally incur the same type of segment tax, as these services are governed by different tax regulations and do not typically involve the same kind of aviation-related fees.
