Joists are either made of wood, engineered wood, or steel, each of which have unique characteristics. Typically, wood joists have the cross section of a plank with the longer faces positioned vertically. However, engineered wood joists may have a cross section resembling the Roman capital letter I; these joists are referred to as I-joists.
What is the Passenger Usage Fee? The cornerstone of the lawsuit is Spiritâs Passenger Usage Fee (PUF). The fee is $8.99 â $16.99 per customer, each way. In other words, when you purchase a round trip ticket, you will pay an additional $17.98 â $33.98 on top of your airfare. The fee is listed as an optional booking-related fee on Spiritâs website. The lawsuit claims that this is deceptive and misleading as the majority of passengers pay the PUF. Technically, the fee is optional. In order to avoid the fee, passengers have to purchase at Spiritâs airport ticket counters.
All tourists and non-Belizean nationalities are required to pay an exit fee of U.S. $39.25. As of October 2010, all U.S. airlines include this fee in the price of the ticket. Cruise ship passengers are charged U.S. $7 whether they leave the ship or remain onboard. This charge is included in the price of the cruise ticket. At the land borders, U.S. citizens are charged U.S. $15 if their stay was less than 24 hours and U.S. $18.75 if the stay was more than 24 hours.
