Airport fees rise

With the new year, airport user fees will rise, starting with Mexico City, where the hike is 3.5 percent. Domestic passengers will pay $15.43, those going abroad $18.99. The figures sound odd, but the fee is in dollars, not pesos. It can vary from airport to airport. Mexico City International — the busiest in the country — is federally operated. Most others are concessions run by private firms. The fee usually is bundled in with the ticket price.
