Zambia Departure Tax

The cost of the $5 for international departures is NOT in the ticket and this is payable at departure in Cash at the same desk where the departure tax is paid for internal flights. This tax will eventually be in the ticket but as of now the above procedure has to be undertaken. This also applies for all international travel regardless of where the tickets were issued or the date of issue. This causes long lines at the airport and passengers should check in at least 3 hours before departure until this tax is in the ticket.
