On all flights departing an airport in the USA (CX, Oneworld, Zed), they are incorrectly charging us the Passenger Facility Charge (XF) at 35 HKD per sector.

A PFC generally will be imposed on all revenue passengers enplaned at an airport authorized to collect PFCs. Nonrevenue passengers from whom no PFC may be collected include air carrier employees or others receiving transportation against whom token service charges are levied, as well as infants for whom a token fare is charged.

The following information is applicable to all U.S. Passenger Facility Charges approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) described in the publication.
DEFINITION: Charge for FAA approved airport planning and development projects to:
a) preserve or enhance safety, security or capacity of the national air transportation system:
b) reduce noise or mitigate noise impacts resulting from an airport; or,
c) furnish opportunities for enhanced competition among or between carriers.
EXEMPTIONS:
a) Passenger on a flight to an eligible point on an air carrier receiving essential air service
compensation on that route;
b) Passenger enplaning on a carrier which is not required by the public agency to collect PFCs;
c) Passenger already charged for PFCs at the first two airports on one-way trip or for four PFCs
(first two and last two) on a round trip;
d) Passenger holding a ticket issued outside the U.S. that includes travel outside the U.S. and
the airport is not a gateway airport; and,
e) Non-revenue passenger.
COLLECTION:
The ticketing code to be used for the PFCs (as assigned by IATA Passenger Services
Conference Resolution 728) is XF.
