Re: end of I94W can I claim anything back off the airlines?
I doubt it would even be close to a couple of quid let alone 15. I would guess at about 20p or less per traveler. The form itself can't be more than a penny or two in the amount used and other costs split over the millions and millions of travelers isn't going to be much. It may be somewhat significant to the airline who pays the whole bill but for each person it won't be.
It could only be 2 quid incorporated on your bill or could be 15 quid that's a few pints in the pub innit

You strike me as nothing more than a cheap, money-grubbing arse with a chip on your shoulder and a skewed sense of entitlement. Just about every thread you've started has been about money - and how desperately cheap you are! It's pathetic.

I was unsure what to do with this thread as it seems more to do with an airline than an immigration issue, so I've ended up moving it to the Trailer Park.

The ESTA does not remove the fee incurred by the I-94W and the airline only collects it and sends it on the DHS. It is not for their use. The fee is for the stamp in your passport as well and you will still be receiving it so why do you think you are reducing your costs?
If you don't want to spend the money, then feel free to never step foot in the US again. There problem solved.

If the I94W has been phased out at Dublin immigration by the time I travel in a few weeks time what would I be entitled to claim back? I have paid the bill months in advance of travelling when the i94w was still in use. Any costs incurred by the airline to implement the i94w must be included in the ticket cost, and since I have never been charged for the i94w at the airport I am assuming that those charges are on my bill. And if the i94w is phased out by the time I travel then those charges are defunct.
Any thoughts?

Trying to justify the expense I guess. Any fees factored into your ticket are only an average anyway. Think of the security checkpoints: I go through with no metal, no overcoat, one small carry on, yet I get charged the same as somebody who needs patting down, wears a pacemaker, carries a laptop as well as an ordinary bag that requires double screening, and is in a wheelchair (and no, I don't think wheelchair users should be charged more - but double baggage or unnecssarily holding up the queue... hmmm... that's another thread).

Ok Ian so if they phase out all these air taxes in the U.S and you paid your tickets for England you wouldn't put that in your next tax return? Of course you would.
And why are they now saying we are gonna see hundreds of millions in savings they don't have to sell it us.

Will the phasing out of this paperwork mean a reduction in the taxes that you pay when you book a flight to the U.S? They are not phasing out the Immigration and Naturalisation Fee of 7 bucks are they or the International Transportation Tax?

No fun when the trolls are this obvious.
