Recommended Posts

According to the Daily Mail March 20

FROM APRIL 2015 Holidays to long haul destinations are set to get cheaper thanks to a reduction in air passenger duty.

The top two tiers of the current four-zone system - costing £83 per passenger for flights of 4000 - 6000 miles, and £94 for for 6,000 miles and more are being scrapped.

Perhaps there have been complaints from the likes of BA...... people are finding it cheaper to fly via the ME.

I am expecting there will be a rise in tax elsewhere to cancel this out.

Bit more research and it seems that yes of the four zones the furthest two are being scrapped BUT duty of zone 2 will still be applied...

so instead of paying £94 for a zone 4 flight (over 6000miles) the flight will incur the zone 2 rate, £71.00...
