In general you must list for a international flight in order to have your name processed and cleared by TSA. Different airlines have different rules on times for this. At Delta its 74 minutes prior to the flight. In addition you need to check in at the ticket counter to pay any international departure fees or taxes ect....

Here's another thing, Viking.

At some US Airways stations in Europe, they want a receipt that you paid the departure tax already in PHL. Most airlines have you pay at the gate or ticket counter in Europe for the flight home, but US does it differently for some reason. So if you think you might come back on US as a jumpseater, pay the tax in PHL and then if you don't come back on them, you can always get a refund later on at a desk in PHL.

Looks like I'll just take my own airline to Europe, but still might j/s back on US.
Will that be a problem as far as taxes?
With CO i have just paid it cash in OSL, and some times not even got charged.
