Refund of USA taxes and Passenger Facility Fees due to itinerary change?
Upvote:4
It's a little bit of a grey area, but as a rule when your flights change due to circumstances beyond your control (including schedule changes like this, delayed flights, etc) then the price you pay - including fees - doesn't change, regardless of any differences in either the fare or taxes.
In this case the difference in taxes and fees would be around $11 less, but the difference in the fare for the direct flight could be hundreds of dollars extra - so the nett result is that you've probably come out a long way in front due to the change.
In the event that the taxes went up due to the change (eg, if you were traveling via a different airport with a higher PFC) the airline would not charge you any additional to cover it.

Depends on the airline rules and the fare you booked. Generally, if the ticket is refundable - everything should be refundable. The government doesn't charge fees and taxes if you didn't travel. The airline - might.
How to figure the exact fees - your travel agent can probably help you with that, they have that break-down. If you booked online - you might not be able to get this information on the confirmation (I remember getting it from some online booking sites, but definitely not the majority of them).
Remember that the change in the price of your ticket doesn't necessarily reflect the change in your itinerary linearly.
