The United States imposes an excise tax on the sale of domestic airline tickets. Let’s assume that in 2006 the total excise tax was $5.80 per airline ticket (consisting of the $3.30 flight segment tax plus the $2.50 September 11 fee). According to data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, in 2006, 656 million passengers traveled on domestic airline trips at an average price of $389.08 per trip. The accompanying table shows the supply and demand schedules for airline trips. The quantity demanded at the average price of $389.08 is actual data; the rest is hypothetical.
| Price of trip | Quantity of trips demanded (millions) | Quantity of trips supplied (millions) |
| $389.17 | 655 | 1,100 |
| $389.08 | 656 | 1,000 |
| $384.00 | 685 | 685 |
| $383.28 | 700 | 656 |
| $383.27 | 701 | 655 |
