So why don't they tax a train journey from London to Edinburgh?
Or a coach journey from Glasgow to Manchester?
Or a ferry journey from Dover to Calais?
Or a car journey on 'Le Shuttle' from UK to France?
Or a Eurostar journey from London to Brussels?
Discrimination against airline travel, I say!
Could we put a case to the European Parliament as this unilateral tax is endangering our long-term employment?
PS Did you know that Virgin must charge £80 APD on a Premium Economy ticket?
Is that why the Blair family bought economy tickets with BA when they travelled London to Miami at Christmas? Knew full well that they would get upgraded and save a fortune in tax!
Absolutely outrageous.
