Hi,

Landed back from mexico on 28/08/07, the tax has just gone up to $49 (520 pesos).

As per the mexican style you will get no change from a $50 dollar bill, they just see it as a tip.

$48 when you leave. just typical of mexico, you spend over £1000 for a decent hotel for 14 nights when your there you spend a fair bit thus contributing to the economy and everywhere you go you give out decent tips and then just before you leave they get the last bit of money they can out of ya by charging $48 to leave. its little things like this that put me off a place, but saying that ive still booked up for cancun in march 2008 apparently its spring break then so ill be having it with the yanks haha

I know the departure tax used to be included if you were flying with Thomas Cook, does anybody know if this is still the case? I have looked on TC website and can't find the information. Even asked in the local TC shop - one assistant said yes, another said no!!!!
Told them I would ask on Holiday Truths, as someone here would surely know.!
Thanks Denny

Our flights were thru Thomas Cook but not the whole package and we had to pay 3x $50 on departure. Things like that wind me up as it's nothing but a money grabbing exercise.

The departure tax is $53, you can also pay in Peso's or Sterling. Has to be cash (no debit or credit cards)I know children have to pay, but don't know about under 2's.

Hi, has anyone come back from Mexico within the last month or so, If so how much is the departure tax, I have heard it's $53 usd but have also heard other amounts just wanted to get the rite amount (bar the exchange rate) so i can change it up and put it with my passport as i'm going soon and want to start getting sorted.

Many Thanks lovethesun04

It's a couple of years since I last visited Mexico, but wasn't the overseas departure tax included (added!) to the price of the holiday for departures after 1st May 2007 so you don't have to pay it at check-in for your return journey? I know we had to pay $50 in March 2007, but it changed from May that year from what I remember.

Dazbo, I think it depends who you fly with.? Thomas Cook don't include the tax. In Sept last year it was 53$, you can pay in Dollars or Pesos.
