Tax Hike for Air Travel from the UK
As reported, air passengers leaving UK will be facing an increase from February 2007.
- On short -haul flights, you can expect a tax increase of £5 to £10 per economy class passenger.
- On long-haul flights, you have to cough up £40 for economy class (double for business class but that definitely would not apply to you, dear budget traveler).
TIP to skip paying that £40: As mentioned by the Global Traveller, just head for another major European city airport and fly to your long-haul destination from there.

[...] As previously reported, air passengers leaving UK will be facing an increase from February 2007. Yes, even if you have booked and paid for your flight before the tax hike was announced last December. [...]
