Departure tax
Does anyone know if you can pay for departure tax by credit card or do you have to have pesos. I have seen many different amounts. Does it have to be paid at the airport?

It is normally included in your ticket price.

I do not recall ever having to pay a departure tax in Mexico. I have paid in other countries such as Domonican Republic but not Mexico. As mentioned above, it might be hidden...

It used to be a separate item you had to pay at your departure airport, quite awhile ago.
But, at least for me, and for many years now, it's been part of the ticket price. |
Yes Suze back in the "Olden Days" it had to be the exact amount as they did not make change & it had to be in Pesos. Then for a while they took US Currency then perhaps 15 years or so ago they started including it in the cost of the ticket.
I remember well but of course you are much too young to recall. |
The only people who have to pay a separate departure tax are UK citizens flying a charter such as Thomas Cook or Thomsens, all others it is included in the ticket price.

Thanks for the clarification. I contacted Southwest Airlines as well & they confirmed that it was included in the ticket. Just a couple of years ago we had to pay a departure tax when we left Costa Rica so nice to know that we don't have to.
