Buying tickets in advance will not mean you miss paying the extra airport taxes

Buying tickets in advance will not mean you miss paying the extra airport taxes once they have been brought in.Airlines such as Iberia or Vueling could see themselves ‘being obliged’ to increase the price of tickets acquired before the increase of taxes which has been introduced by the Spanish Government. The increase would apply on the date of the flight in a Spanish airport, and was included the State Budget. The legislation says that the passenger has to pay the difference between the money paid for the tickets purchased in advance, and the price applicable, with the higher taxes, on the date of the flight. Both Iberia and Vueling have said they will offer more information to their clients when the measure comes into effect. Iberia will include the extra tax in the cost of their tickets once the measure is in effect. There is no date as yet as to when the higher taxes will actually be charged.
