Outstanding. A nice convenience. I would say though, that based on my experience, printing out the boarding pass in advance is usually a waste of time. Unless something has changed there also, I was always made to exchange the pre-printed pass for one printed at the airport on airline ticket stock. If you have a bag to check (in which case they'll always reprint the passes) it really saves no time at all.
If you just have a carry-on, will the airport police at the front of the check-in line collect the departure tax form and allow you to proceed directly to immigration? Or can you just give the departure tax form to the immigration officer directly? Also, there was a rumor that there would be no paper form if you bought the departure tax at SL or another non-airport agent. Is that true? And if so, at what point is it verified that the departure tax has been paid? (i.e. do you still have to make an appearance at the airline ticket counter?)
This is going to be good, but we need to know exactly how it's going to work. Need a field report. I'll be back on March 29 and give it a try if no one reports by then.

I was told by the Tax agents/New Bank involved that the procedure after you buy your tax (which is the same form as before) has not changed. The only advantage I see is that you already have your form already filled out in hand when you arrive at the airport and you do not need to stand in line, make the purchase at the Tax Counter inside the airport then fill out the form before lining up at the Airline counter check-in.
