Virgin break down the extra costs like this: YQ70.60 GB40.00 XT35.00
I think XT is Fuel surcharge- the amount looks about right. Those charges are set per person on a 348 pound ticket. And now Brown is zapping an extra 'green' tax on the aeroplane too! It is extraordinary that politicians have looked on the whole environmentalist movement as purely and simply a device to impose further taxes that have zero connection with environmentalism, apart from an excuse! One despairs.
