UK Air transport taxes
UK Air transport taxes
The UK Govt seems to be determined to place taxes on Air Travelers: UK
originating travelers, I assume. Consider the added tax applied in Jan
Feb this year, and the mooted 80 Pds Tax for tickets on flights
departing the UK.
If you purchase a ticket on a UK Carrier {BA} in say, Germany, for a
flight thats routed Frankfurt to Heathrow to Seattle. Would the
section Heathrow to Seattle be considered a UK departing flight and
attract the extra tax, despite the ticket purchase in Germany??

Afaik the taxes being proposed so far are for UK domestic flights
and relative to airplane pollution output. The details might differ.

I believe it only applies to stopovers of over 24 hours.
The info is on the BA or BAA sites, I would guess.
