Every Little Helps
From Yesterday (April 1st) their is a reduction in Flight Tax from UK Airports, if you have already paid for your Flights, you can claim this Tax back.

Its not a tremendous amount for an individual but for a family it seems it can be around a couple of hundred quid for Long Haul Flights, its better in your pocket than in the Airlines coffers.

Graham I'm sorry, I copied a Link which didn't make it very Clear., Child rates are different, but it also applies to Adults, as can be seen below:
New rates of APD after 1st April 2015 compared with during 2014:
Lower (standard) rate Higher rate
2014 From 1.4.2015 2014 From 1.4.2015
Band A0 – 2000 miles £13 £13 £26 £26
Band B2000 – 4000 miles £69 £71 £138 £142
Band C4000 – 6000 miles £85 £71 £170 £142
Band DOver 6000 miles £97 £71 £194 £142
Loss to the Treasury of the amalgamation of Bands C and D into Band B after 2015
Exchequer impact (£m)

There it gives a better idea, and it applies to Philippines Flights, and looks to be about £28 for Flights between 4000 and 6000, and £52 for flights over 6000 so if you booked your Flight before April 1st you can claim this Air Passenger Duty back. and for the rest of us, we can expect to see cheaper Flying

Let's hope it does make a real difference Harry.

Maybe good news for me then as I have already booked and paid for air tickets for the summer. Just phoned the agent who has, as yet, no information on how to claim.
Anybody got any idea?
