    (a) In General.--Section 4281 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986

        view an attraction) or an on-demand flight to or from an area 
        not connected by paved roads to any airport'' after 
        ``sightseeing'', and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new sentence: ``For 
        purposes of the preceding sentence, the term `on-demand flight' 
        means any flight for which the departure time, departure 
        location, and arrival location are specifically negotiated with 
        the customer.''.
    (b) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall 
apply to taxes imposed before, on, or after the date of the enactment 
of this Act, but only to the extent such taxes have not been paid 
before such date.
