DO NOT PAY THE MEXICAN TOURIST TAX!

Mexican residents do not have to pay the Mexican tourist tax automatically added to the ticket price. But, you need to request a refund. Each airline has a different process for getting the refund. Alaska has the forms at the counter. You need to ask for the form and show your residence card. Sometimes they do not not know what you are talking about, so once you get your hands on the form carry a blank one with you to show them what to look for in their drawers.
