Ticketnorthamerica.com is operated by Noam Flyers Inc. Ticketnorthamerica.com is an independent travel agency and is not an airline. This page explains the difference between government taxes, airport or passenger charges, airline-imposed charges, and Noam Flyers Inc.'s own service fees.
The purpose of this page is to provide customers with a clear understanding of the different components that may make up the total price of an airline booking. Airline taxation and fee structures can vary by itinerary, country, airport, airline, fare type, passenger type, and date of travel. The final amount presented before payment should therefore always be treated as the applicable price for the transaction.
When a customer books air travel through Ticketnorthamerica.com, the total amount may include the airline's base fare, airline-imposed surcharges or carrier charges, government taxes, airport or passenger charges, security or inspection fees, and, where applicable, a service fee charged by Noam Flyers Inc.
Optional services selected by the customer may result in additional charges. These may include checked baggage, seat selection, upgrades, priority services, travel protection, or other airline or third-party ancillary products.
Government taxes and airport-related charges are generally imposed by the applicable government authority, airport, security agency, or other regulatory body. These amounts are normally collected through the airline ticketing and settlement process.
The amount applicable to a specific booking may depend on the origin, destination, connecting airports, country of travel, point of sale, cabin class, passenger type, fare construction, and date of travel.
Accordingly, amounts shown in general examples on this page should not be interpreted as a guaranteed tax amount for any particular itinerary.
For U.S.-related travel, commonly applicable charges may include federal air transportation excise taxes, domestic segment taxes, international facilities taxes, Transportation Security Administration security fees, Passenger Facility Charges, and other applicable government or airport charges.
International itineraries may also include passenger duties, airport charges, inspection fees, customs or immigration-related charges, or other government-imposed amounts.
Airlines may impose charges in addition to the base fare. Depending on the airline and fare purchased, these may include carrier-imposed surcharges, change penalties, cancellation penalties, reissue charges, no-show penalties, or other amounts associated with the airline's fare rules.
Airline-imposed charges are separate from any service fee charged by Noam Flyers Inc.
Ticketnorthamerica.com does not represent an airline-imposed charge as a government tax or as a Ticketnorthamerica.com agency fee.
Airline charges may vary based on the airline, route, fare family, cabin, ticket conditions, passenger type, and timing of the transaction.
Noam Flyers Inc. may charge a service fee for certain services provided through Ticketnorthamerica.com.
These fees compensate Noam Flyers Inc. for travel-agency services and are separate from airline fares, government taxes, airport charges, airline penalties, and optional ancillary services.
Where a service fee applies, the applicable amount will be disclosed before the customer authorises payment or before the requested service is performed, as applicable.

A customer completing a booking independently through the online booking process may receive a different service-fee structure from a customer who requests assistance from a Noam Flyers Inc. representative.
Assisted bookings may involve additional manual work, including itinerary research, fare comparison, passenger-detail verification, payment assistance, manual ticketing, special requests, or other support.

The displayed airfare may not include optional services that have not been selected by the customer.
Additional charges may apply for:
Where an optional service is selected during the booking process, the applicable charge should be displayed before payment is completed.
Airfare, taxes, fees, and availability may change before a booking is fully confirmed and ticketed.
A fare or tax amount displayed during an initial search may change because of airline inventory changes, fare-class availability, government tax changes, airport charges, currency fluctuations, supplier updates, or other factors.
The final amount displayed or quoted to the customer before payment authorisation is the amount that should be reviewed before completing the transaction.
Ticketnorthamerica.com does not guarantee that an initially displayed fare or tax amount will remain available until ticketing unless the fare has been successfully confirmed and ticketed.
If the applicable fare or total price changes before completion of the transaction, the customer may be informed of the revised amount and, where applicable, given the opportunity to accept or decline the revised price.
Airline tickets and booking confirmations may display taxes and charges using industry-standard tax codes rather than full descriptions.
Tax codes and their application may vary depending on the itinerary, country, airport, passenger type, and other characteristics of the booking.
Customers requiring a detailed explanation of the taxes and charges applicable to a specific reservation should refer to the final ticket receipt, booking confirmation, invoice, or other transaction documentation provided for that reservation.
